Not the city in Australia but the Inn in Santa Catalina. It was dark when I arrived but this is what greeted me from the door of my room when I woke up this morning. There is an international crew staying here and like Pavones it seems that quite a few people are flying in based on the forecast (http://magicseaweed.com/Santa-Catalina-La-Punta-Surf-Report/448/ ). There were quite a few in the water this morning so I hope it is not too bad while I am here. I really don’t like crowds in the water. I just want to be out with a few friendly faces.
However I am not going in today because my reserves are always low after a border crossing and I have more pressing issues with doing stuff to help sell the car which the project manager in me knows I must get onto in order to sell the car as quickly as possible in Panama City. That of course assumes that I can get online and usual my computer, the wifi or both are playing up so you are probably reading this one as part of the latest batch of blog updates that I copy paste from my computer onto the web as soon as I get a connection. Apologies for that but there is not much I can do about it. Trust me I have tried!
Rather worryingly staying out today means I have now seen what is underneath these double overhead waves before going in, because all the rocks you see here were very visible at low tide. The tidal range is quite big and particularly so at the moment so there should be enough water underneath me for it not to be an issue when I am surfing. At least I hope so! It will certainly be a paddle out and back in where I will have to keep my wits about me.
