The other day we went hiking up Mauao (the mount where we live) for the sunset and moonrise. Both were spectacular. The moon was the closest to Earth it had been in quite some time. Unfortunately the moon was so bright, our photos don't capture the detail we could see.
Yesterday we attempted to go surfing and learned 2 very valuable lessons.
1) Check multiple websites for the surf forecast. One said 3 feet, another said 3 meters. It was 3 meters.
2) On big wave days, don't surf at high tide, the waves are even bigger then.
We didn't last long in that kind of surf and ended up going under the waves more often then riding on them. Luckily there was no wind yesterday, so we packed up the surfboards and went the 2 blocks to the harbour side of the peninsula for some stand-up paddling. A perfect day for that. Our friend Nicole was out on her yacht in the harbour doing some maintenance, so Kaleb swam and I paddled out to hang out with her for a bit.
As a side note for foodies, Kaleb's lunch today: pizza with shrimp, tuna, mussels and corn on it.
Kaleb's put up heaps more photos - check it out
