There is something about sunshine in winter which is so energizing. Occasionally while ski touring in Canada, we’d pass on the days big objective to find a sheltered place in the sun to sit and enjoy the winter scenery surprisingly touched by a warm (if not objectively warm) feeling sun. Down at our local beach a few days ago, meeting Lisa for a paddle day, the sun felt therapeutically warm, the wind calm, the water clear, and the local dolphin pod was swimming in the bay. Sometimes you cannot ask for more out of life.
Our destination for the day was Guerilla Bay. I was thinking we would amble along the shore taking advantage of the minimal swell and escaping the westerly wind, but Lisa must be a “get it done” paddler as she was taking a straight line from headland to headland. The seal pod at Burrewarra Point is expanding, and the seals seem complacent and content, although I am sure I am anthropomorphizing.
I borrowed Doug’s camera for the day and actually took some pictures, so this post is mostly an excuse to post those somewhere.
