CENTRAL COAST - 15 TO 31 DECEMBER 2020

15 December

Back home.

Some basic home cleaning and emptying the van.

16 December

Yard work was a month's worth of fallen sticks and leaves. It took me a few hours to get it looking reasonable.

17 December

A morning surf at Wamberal Beach. I was surfing terrible but the waves were okay. Haha!

Jacinta and I spent the mid morning setting up the Christmas tree and other decorations. Yo ho ho!

Kara returned early from Armidale as she had finished work quicker than expected.

18 December

An early surf at Wamberal Beach. The waves were small on a low tide. There were a few okay waves. The sunrise was very yellow and there was a mist over the ocean. Very pretty!

I caught up with Ken at the Haven for coffee.

We went for a second surf at Wamberal but the tide was a bit too high so only had a couple of waves.

Family dinner with the girls at Kincumber Hotel. Sort of an early Xmas get together before they both went on holidays.

20 December

Jacinta and I drove to Somersby Falls. The water was flowing and it was very pretty. It was also very slippery. 

21 December

A fun surf at Wamberal. The waves were much better and consistent today. Smiley face time!

22 December

A mid morning surf at Pelican Beach with ken. The waves were excellent - hard lefts with size and a killer shore dump ending. Big smiley face time.

23 December

A surf wandering with Ken ending in a crap surf at Birdie Beach

A hike on the Girrakool Loop with Jacinta in the late afternoon. So pretty in the land of cool waters.

24 December

A fun surf at Wamberal Beach and coffee with the boys later.

An afternoon sit at the Terrigal Haven with Jacinta. A nice way to end the day.

25 December

Xmas - a quiet one for us due to the girls away and covid restrictions. 

26 December

A morning kayak at Fagans Bay. There was a light rain at times and a contrasting of light and dark due to the clouds.

A hike from Putty Beach to Bullimah Beach with Jacinta. Along the rocks, over the sandstone cliffs and along the path to Bullimah Beach. 

27 December

A mid morning snorkel at Terrigal Haven – stingray and schools of small fish.

29 December

A kayak at Avoca Lagoon – light rain, quiet, birds, a bird's nest and eggs.

30 December

Rain - inside chores

A great dinner night with Bryson and Jeanette.

REFLECTIONS

This period of Summer has been wet with varying winds. It was hard planning activities but still, make the best of what you can.
