Trinadade Beach

It was nice paddling around in the rock pools. The waves would occasionally wash a surge into the pools adding to the interest.

Rock Pools

We had some lunch & boarded a couple of small aluminium boats (pictured). The driver launched us through the very waves we'd been surfing a few hours before. I've done this countless times in the Surf Life Saving rescue duck, but it's a completely different game in these things. We made it out & the kilometre or so to the rock pools across the bay. The only snag was me catching my foot trying to get out of the boat & opening up a nice wound.

Surfing Time

This photo may not show it, but there was the odd decent wave rolling through. I spent as long as I could in the water body surfing. I hadn't caught a wave since we left Australia 18 months previous. I was in my element! The others were all trying to get body surfing lessons off me. I tried to help, but you can only teach so much in a couple of hours.

Trinidade Beach

Day 42 - Trinadade Beach

After a good night sleep we were ready & raring to go to Trinidade Beach. Most of the group piled into one of the crazy local vans & half an hour later we were at the strange little beach side community of Trinidade. The weather was a bit overcast but it was still warm enough. We set up camp & took to the water.
