another day in paradise
December 19, 2007 Filed in: Trip Reports
The swell has dropped around the islands it was decided
this day would be about cruising in search of more
spots for future surf missions. Equipped with a depth
finder, GPS, and charts of the area we fired up the
boat and took off. There were squalls on the horizon
but the sun was beating down upon us. The winds were
howling and the day already had the makings of an epic
adventure. First destination, an island named Cayo Agua
because of its proximity to open ocean swell and
shelter from wind. This island has some wonderful
possibility with point and beach breaks. Due to the
small swell on this day we only got a taste of what it
could be like. However we did witness a few nice sets
roll through and peal down the line. This got our
bodies quivering with anticipation of what could be
when things picked up. Everyone was ready to jump in
but the consistency was just not there, another foot
quite possibly could have made the difference. Guess we
should have been there yesterday. To quell our thirst
we shot out to the Zapatilla Cayes in hopes that the
outside breaks would be a bit larger and allow us some
rides. It was a good decision; we rode a few and went
home smiling, another day in paradise.
