Joe Surfing 
A couple days ago Joe went out surfing and I just walked out to the beach and watched. I was pretty pooped from surfing a few days in a row, so I wanted a break. Unfortunately, high tide is/was around 5ish so the sun was right behind him. Hard to get video when he's that far out and the sun is glaring back at you. I did get some pics though. So I'll post those.
Oh, afterwards we went to a Mongolian Grill in Newport. It was quite good. :)

Coming out to chat for a minute before heading back out for a short bit.

Surfing 
Went out surfing again. The waves were relatively calm and very nice for catching and practicing. Tons of fun, but after three previous days of surfing I'm am worn out. Our seal buddy was hanging out by us for a bit. At one point Joe was to the left and ahead of me and the seal was basically in line with Joe directly in front of me, within 20 feet of both of us. Kinda fun watching the seal watch us. :)

Back to South Beach 
Well, surfing at Beachside was awful. It was pretty rough and the currents were really strong. So, we decided to move back up to South Beach, where we stayed before Labor Day Weekend. It's a longer walk to the beach, but the surfing is a lot nicer. I stood up bunches and even rode in the whole way a couple times. :)
We had a seal buddy that kept poking up and checking us out. A few times it was probably within 20 feet. Same thing occurred when we were at Beachside. A Harbor Seal kept popping its head up not far from us apparently checking us out.
Well, we're staying here for at least a week if not two, then we might head inland instead of staying on the coast like we've been doing. We'll see.

Surfin Girl 
WooHooo! Our dirty little secret has been that Miranda hasn't stood up yet on the surfing ;). Well, We finally had some good clean surf, and she gotup twice for some nice real rides :) Way To Go Girl :) We were being overrun with giant pelicans surrounding us, apparently, we were surfing above a school of fish. . . (Sharks?) ;)

Yay Surf! 
We went surfing today. Super nice waves! They were perfect! What a blast. At one point we were out a little ways waiting for waves and a gull flew up to us and basically hovered just two or three feet away. Super weird. Then later I saw something dark up a head in a wave and realized it was a seal. The seal popped its head up a few times seeming to watch us and then we didn't see it again. We stayed out for a bit, but Joe needed to get out of the sun and we were both really worn out. So now we're hurting a bit, but we may head out again tomorrow morning before we have to leave here. The waves were too perfect to pass up. :)
