I'm excited....
Sheep, like all wool-bearing animals, instinctively travel north, where it's colder, and they won't be so stuffy.

I'll happily take that surf forecast for this type of trip, Big enough for fun on the outside for those that want that, and enough soup for the new paddlers to enjoy, and with weather that looks good enough to be fun.

Looks likely to be both a morning and evening surf session then on the Saturday with enough time to eat the way out of the hangover! :) Just after spring tides - 2 days after new moon.

There will be a lovely thin crescent moon in the evening after sunset!
