It was offshore this morning but you had to be on to it early.  The Northerly had kicked in by 7:30am and the clean conditions of first light were only a memory. Mind you, if you missed it you didn't miss that much.  Sure there was swell, but the hightide was throwing the banks all out of whack and there was a funny backwash running through the lineup.  There were some rare good ones but you really had to be in the zone to jag one.

It's a gorgeous 'blue bird' day out there now.  The water's warm and the sun is shining...  but we've got to work. ∆ Murray
