bring it on.....2006
damn it's 2006 already. whoooooooo-weee happy to see 05 go bye bye.
too much to remember in the past year has happened & passed.
mellow new years' celebration for us. heading into the new year relaxed, focused & sun burnt brown. we decided to bail out of the city & get back into the groove of the cabin getways we became so used to in seattle. so we're in north shore for the long weekend away from all the clatter, people, traffic & yammering. not to mention our house has been turned into a canadian refugee center. ah well, it's good to have people visit & experience the islands first hand. it's all about the stoke & there's lots of it around to be had.
speaking of which, yesterday we headed out to waimea for some morning sun & to watch some locals dropping in on double-triple overhead waves. it was fun to watch the lifeguards chase the tourists around as the beach pound reached 5ft walls smashing into the sand. then we headed off to "rainbows" to catch a little east side wrap from the N-NW swell that has been hitting the norh shore. waves are big enough to close out most breaks...so we had to skirt around the other side to look for some decent wrap affects.
hung out last night at the cabin. tiki torches flickering a soft canvas light against the grove of bananna trees...cold pacific northwest beers in the cooler.... a fresh veggie salad waiting for its partner of wild salmon on the grill. dessert was a coupla stolen slices of ted's chocolate macadamia nut pie under a full palate of stars to gaze upon against the southern hemi skyline. top that w/ an occasional firework bursting over the tree line & you have a blissful state of paradise found. twas a nice easy going evening for chilling. a comforting feel for 05 being brought to a close w/ a sleepy dream like state from the sounds of the ocean at high tide.
maybe a new years' day surf session is on order...
happy new year folks.
alohas from the middle of the ocean.
