We caught some beautiful waves and beautiful sights at this beach at Agnes Water.

I was having a wonderful time at Baffle Creek, and I hated the prospect of leaving, but I had much work to do on the Internet. Knowing that my need for the Internet was the thing pulling me away from Baffle Creek, Ajay and Gabbi called their Internet service provider and connected to the world-wide web. Cool! Now I could use Ajay's laptop to get work done, and we could go fishing and surfing for a day or two longer!

I got a lot of work done in the morning while Ajay and Gabbi did their work around the farm, and then we decided to head to Agnes Water and the beach. On the way, we stopped by a surf shop to get wax for Ajay's boogie board, and he showed me some knit beanies that Gabbi had made out of wool and natural dyes. The beanies are in the surf shop for sale, and I am really impressed with how awesome they are!

We hit the beach with the boogie board, and I brought my goggles for body surfing, but we decided not to rent surfboards as it was too late in the day. I did catch a bunch of waves, though, and I was even able to stand up (briefly) on the boogie board. I definitely feel the need to surf! It's only $10 for two hours, so I think it's a must-do!

The sun set on our way home, and Gabbi had dinner ready when we returned. It was super-delicious, again, and we all ate 'til we were full. I also got a bit more Internet work finished, and I showed Gabbi and Ajay our website with the journals and photos.
