THE HAVEN - FRIENDS, WALK AND WHALES - 1 NOVEMBER 2017

What to do this today??????



I did my usual surf check - North Avoca Beach and Wamberal Beach. Both these beaches a a few minutes drive from my home. The surf wasn't so good.

The next plan was a walk around the Haven. I didn't want to be too far from home as my youngest daughter Chloe was sick yesterday.

I walked around the Haven - 1.38 km - and thought about an ocean swim. The wind was brisk but unusually chilly so I passed on that one.

I just got into my van when I had a call from Paul, who what to meet up for a walk and coffee. He arrived a few minutes later and we had for me another walk around the Haven with the addition of Gypsy his dog. A fun walk as Paul is always good company.

Back at the start, we ran into John and had a chat and laugh then we had coffee watching the waves just starting to break at the Haven. The waves were a fair size with a lot of push.

Paul noticed a whale just behind the surfers so we walked to a better vantage point and watched the whales drift south. They spouted water and undulated through the waves. Nice!

Back home, and there was a mile long list of things to do there as well as out and about. Busy, busy sometimes.

COFFEE, HIKE AND MOUNTAIN BIKE RIDE - 1 JUNE 2017

31 may 2017

The weather for the morning was coolish and sunny.

I checked the waves but very small so I had a walk around Terrigal Haven. Being low tide and a sm all swell, I was able to walk around the rocks at the base of the cliff. It was nice going to the edge of the rocks and the water and checking out a few rock pools.

I met up with Jacinta and paul for coffee at 'The Cove'. A nice chat in the sun while protected from the breeze.

Surf check but a no go.

Rang and caught up with high school mate and long time surfing buddy John at Copacabana for a morning coffee and chat. Noice.

Up to Kincumba Mountain for a mountain bike ride. I rode a couple of tracks and had a fun time. The ride felt smooth and easy. I guessed that losing a bit of weight and extra exercise was starting to pay off. Yo!

Called Jacinta who was just finishing a morning walk so I joined her at Terrigal Haven for coffee, chat and a sun sit.

Later in the morning, Kara Mr. Archibald and I sat in the sun at Wamberal Lagoon protected from the cool winds. Relaxing and pretty.

LONG JETTY CYCLE - 1 APRIL 2016

John and I went for a bike ride at Long Jetty.

This was john's first ride since his injury and he went well on the flats and eventually the small hill climbs.

It was a great morning with a few highlights :-

On peddling out on one of the piers there were seagulls and terns roosting on the railing all the way along. As we cycled along the pier, the seagulls flew off in a sort of formation to the left and the right. It looked pretty cool from my vantage point behind John.

We watched a teen girl doing all sorts of tricks on her bike in the bike park. Amazing to watch! She was so good but alas, the footage didn't turn out as I turned the go pro off rather than on. She said she had been practising for a few years and learned watching the older boys.

People saying hello and good morning as we cycled pass them.

Cycling along the piers. We met a young guy fishing at the end of one jetty. He had no luck fishing but he enjoyed the solitude and view.

A play in the two bike parks though I was wasn't near the young girls standard, I still had a good time and felt inspired to do better.

A fun bike ride.
