Smallest day yet since I arrived 1 month ago.  A few of the guys went for a surf, but I don’t think they were able to ride a wave for more than 20 yards.   G-Land can go flat and tomorrow’s forecast is to go even flatter.  But we still have good winds.  A little south in it again, but dominantly from the east.

Cole went for a dive and speared a small Jack, the 3 Pomes (Saul-Myles-Spencer) and 2 new guests (Greg n Roger) watched a movie and had a surf, Warren went for 2 surfs I think, I saw a lionfish in the little pool off of 1st point, and Molly chased fish all day.  A calm, restful day at Bobby’s G-Land Surf Camp.

It’ll be interesting to see how calm the ocean is tomorrow since today is one of the flattest I’ve ever seen.

28 guests in Bobby’s G-Land Surf Camp today after the change over.  Feels really quiet and slow once there’s less than 30 staying here.  Looking forward to the season’s end when there’s even less.

The G-Land Surf today was not unlike the camp’s feeling.  Maybe 4 foot faces up at Kongs.  Comments from the guests went something like “ahhh, good to get wet mate”  ” keeping up the fitness”  ” nice to do some turns”  ”good first-time experience at G-Land”  However, the winds were still proper dry season trades…and that is a very positive thing.  After about 10 days of counter-trades late September/early October, it’s great to have consistent good winds.

Lots of boats coming out of Grajagan tonight.  Maybe a good sign that tomorrow can be a good day to go fishing since I haven’t noticed them before today.  A handful of octopi-hunting boats originating from the island of Madura are at kadang perahu (boat harbour) right now.  I can only imagine that there’s no discretion to the octopi’s size in their take.
