3/22/08 Decided on a little solo time today, hoping to hang out a bit at BAR. With no one to meet, I didn't make it to the beach until about 10 and as a harbinger of what lies ahead with our warmer weather, my beach was already infested with sand urchins running about. They stayed pretty much on their side of the beach and I launched without difficulty. With my late start I was losing the high tide and made a beeline to BAR hoping to have enough water to play. It was a bit on the shallow side, but if you didn't look down you hardly noticed! I didn't play too long with the tide lessening and me all by my lonesome, but it was nice to battle a few swells coming through the arch. A bump on a submerged rock told me it was time to head elsewhere. Over at Toxic Creek Beach, I joined a surfer in close to shore. The waves weren't very big on the day, but I managed to get a bit wet punching through a few of them. But things slowed down and I decided to head on back. Back at BAR, I spent a bit more time hanging out sea-side with the small waves washing over the point. It was a pretty small day, but I managed to have some fun. Cold water limited me to just one roll on the day, but the sun was out in force as I loaded up the car for the trip home.
