G-Land change over day today and we're hosting a total of 24 guests. I get the feeling that this next trip is going to be overloaded, but we'll see. Not the worst day to have to leave G-Land. Surf was still working...but not pumping. However, that Money Trees sets I saw last night continued on down the reef this morning and sent us some Inside Launching Pad sets through the 2.5 meter high tide. NO BARRELS really since the wind wasn't cooperating.
For the rest of the day, Money Trees on up through Kong's was breaking and probably about 6-8 foot faces on average. The conditions were fairly OK, just a bit variable on the wind again, but there swell angle was good. I didn't surf today since...well...it's tough to surf everyday and I really need to respect the equatorial sun and massive extent of this reef that is paddled.
Special surprise today from our neighbors in Muncar. The school kids showed up on Thursday... outside of their usual Sunday field trip... and took over. I really enjoy them, just need to get rid of those scoring sheets they want us to judge them with. You know, talking to 3 kids somehow turns
into 25 sheets of paper in my lap which is nothing else but strange to me cause who am I to give a kid anything else but an A+!
I'll try and keep on the kabar about the barge up around the point. It's still there for now, but hopefully they'll get it off before all the coal washes off. But maybe that's how it'll work out. If it's lighter, it'll be easier.
