Coastal drive up to Maine
August 8th, 2006 · 1 Comment

Ended up driving north along the 95 to Wells and then taking the costal route up through Ogunquit — where we stopped off to check the river mouth. Ended […]

August 3rd, 2006 · No Comments
This morning I woke up at 6 AM, got all my gear and new board ready, hoped into the car and drove down to meet the boys for a little pre-work surfing session behind Habitat 67. Nothing wakes you up faster at 8 AM than being tossed into rapids after missing your paddle into the wave. […]
