Patrick and Jack have learned a new trick - surfing. They took lessons a couple days ago and have been hitting the waves ever since. In the way of kids, Jack immediately took to it and was soon riding all the way into shore. Being an old(er) dog, Patrick was a little slower to get it all down and stay up, but he's managed a couple rides into shore.

Our Base Camp was a comfortable spot up on the sea wall with a good view of the surfers.

How fun! Can't believe how big Jack is now!
ReplyDeleteYea!!!! I am so happy to see them surfing but what about you Laura? You gotta try it too!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, Carla, I can't believe how big Jack has grown, either. It is still a little shocking sometimes to look up into his eyes.
ReplyDeleteRegarding my surfing career, I am afraid of getting hurt. I am still recovering from a bad knee-boarding accident from five years ago. So I am chicken.

Ohhhh, what amazing photos to see on this dreary, gray day in Montana! Thanks for brightening up my afternoon. I'll be daydreaming of turquoise waters and catching a wave now!

Hi Katie!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you enjoyed the pictures. I checked out your blog and am suitably impressed and very happy for you. I added it to my blog roll. I wish I was starting all over in the Sea of Cortez!
I have so many thoughts for you about your upcoming adventures. I could fill your ears with advice/suggestions, but I wouldn't want to overwhelm you. You will have a lot of fun. The most important thing I can think of is - Be sure to provision plenty of dog food for Wylie since the stuff they sell in BoLA is buggy (so is the flour). Rudy ate fish for weeks since we under-provisioned. Of course, he was thrilled about that, so it wasn't all bad. Jack was not so thrilled about pulling bugs out of his bread.
