A week of big waves and big wind


Big waves usually make the surfers happy but this week's big waves haven't been very clean or all that well organized, at least here on the north coast. I've heard Rincon has had some better waves for surfing but I haven't had a chance to get down there.

We've had pretty constant 20+ mph winds for past week, day and night (which is a little unusual). The winds have kept the waves choppy.

Our dear friend Trudy has bee visiting all week. She's a Master Gardener and came down for an interview to create and run an organic produce farm for a big project here. We wish here all the best. For one thing, it means she would live close by. For another, it would mean fresh produce close at hand. Both are things to be grateful for. Trudy leaves tomorrow. Hopefully, she'll have a little time to put our garden in better shape.

Between the huge waves and chilly wind (okay, it's been in the 70's, not the 20's or lower) Trudy hasn't had much ocean time this trip. But it looks like she'll be back in January, maybe for good. There will be a lot more chance for ocean time then.
