Chasing Waves

Friday, January 5

Due to Amy's purchase of a new surfboard, we pile in the car in search of surf. Previous research online concluded strong winds in the wrong direction and a friend (Jon) informed us the waves would be especially poor. But we are still hopeful. After checking 3 beaches we resign to the fact that indeed the waves are stinky. No surfing today. The wind is insanely strong and we are even unable to enjoy a walk on the beach without rocks being thrown in our faces. We find a shelter made from tall grasses and rest watching the power of the wind and sea collide. Birds are hardly able to make any headway flying straight into the wind.


Stopping by Jon's house on the way home, we drop off extra surfboards he let us borrow. After lunch, we determine a final trip to town is in order. Walking the big downtown of Invercargill, we get the feeling that the town isn't famous for its shopping. We agree that the grocery store is our favourite shop of the day. A lazy day. Back home, we close the day with worship and welcome another Sabbath.
