Inspirational Quote of the Day:
“Before anything else, preparation is the key to success.’” - Alexander Graham Bell
Explosive start to the New Year with celebrations ranging well into the night. Now a zen-like stillness hangs over the village along with some morning coastal cloud cover. A determined minimalism dominates the parking areas with the recent contingent of Young Americans choosing to sleep in. Other denizens of the deep and those that never sleep are ringing in 20/20 with resolute determination. Temps are already moderate at 55F and the winds blow lightly from the NE. Large and competing swells range far and wide with tides favorable throughout the day. A day of challenges on many levels but no better way to wash off the old and ring in the new.
CHANNEL: Our single sentinel stands watch and seeks solace over un-calm waters as new W swells attack. Shapes and shadows exist in scattered form with occasional quality offerings worth the pursuit. A place to reflect upon a year’s passing if you wish to be surrounded by friends and new acquaintances.
PATCH: The usual faces going through Wednesday paces yet joined by masses above the norm. A crowd of the cautious and sanctioned mingle as holiday revelers mix with the regulars. Worlds collide as it all comes together along with big W swell on this Day 1 of 365. Some larger profiles are elicited and a hunter’s eye and patience is required to capture.
