Cressy Beach


On Sunday, after cleaning the rooms, Jodie and I took a quick trip to Cressy beach to check out the beach and the surf. The beach looked stunning, and much to my surprise, the waves really picked up while we were down there.

The water was a fantastic crystal clear green, and the surf started to get rougher as we waded out from the sand. Jodie really felt the difference in power between Cressy and Schouten beaches, and ended up getting bowled over by some of the more severe waves. I was very excited, because I caught my first 'real' waves since being in Tassie, after getting excited over some little 'pretend' ones I caught a couple of feet from the shore at Schouten beach. Even a couple of boogie borders in wetsuits came in to catch some waves.

In the picture below, you just might make out my head in the wave in front of Schouten Island. I don't think I've had that much fun body surfing since I was at Dee Why beach in Sydney. So after going for a 'quick trip', we ended up getting back a little later than planned to begin preparations for curry nite(tm).
