Young Adult Beach Trip

This weekend Kimball and I joined the church's young adult group for a trip to Curio Bay, where one of the church members has a bach (pronounced "batch" what they call a beach house, also known as a "crib" here).  It was an amazing little place right over the beach where we could watch the dolphins play from the breakfast table. The little Hector's dolphins there are rare and only about 3-4 feet long. There is a group of about 40 of them that live in the bay and are there almost every time we visit. Today, they were surfing the waves with us and Kimball caught pictures of it. 

The youth pastor, Jonathas, has arrived recently from Brazil and got to try surfing for the first time and managed to catch some good waves. He's doing a great job with the youth to follow up on the work started by the last youth pastor.

While Kimball was out surfing a sea lion swam up to him and touched his board. Later while we were on shore a sea lion scuffled right up to us and lay his head down to sleep on the rock we were sitting on! We're not sure if it was the same one but he sure was friendly. Didn't see any penguins on this trip but heard they were around. It was so relaxing to spend time with God and nature and fun friends, we'll have to do it again!
