Around The World In 80 Waves

I don’t have too much time left in Australia and need to lighten the load as I try to fit everything into one travel bag going forward.

Moving on from Bombo I get the bits and pieces I have successfully Ebay’d in the post which helps towards this.

Afterwards I push on, driving past the city of Woolongong until I reach Corrimal where I see the first surfable waves since my early morning session.

I want to get in quickly but discover the van has opened another beer bottle for me without asking. I wish it would buy its own beer!

The waves at Corrimal Beach are not anything particularly special but it is a beautiful day and I can resist the foot or two of surf on offer here.

There is nobody else out in the crystal clear water and I have a load of fun for an hour, giving everything to wring as much from the small waves as I can. Look at the degree of concentration. you would think it is 20 foot waves at Tea’hupoo!

However I had a good session and it dawns on me whilst I am in the water that I have brought my hundred up.

That is good batting by any standards, and you should think of me raising my bat to salute the appreciation from the crowd like our victorious Ashes cricketers.
