Tick-Tack-Toe Tuesday Surf & Culture Report
Lost Boys & Co...
So, tell us, where do apples come from? Well, lots of times they come from a store. Sometimes they're even packaged in tissue paper or wrapped in some slick plastic shrink wrap. But with all the farmer's markets around these days, you can really score some good, fresh apples. Of course, you could head out to the country and find an apple orchard (yes, Virginia, apples grow on trees!) and pick them yourself. We did just that and found some great red and yellow delicious apples. The folks that own the orchard give you a bucket, a long handled apple plucker and send you out to pick your favorite apples. They also tell you that while you're out toiling among the branches, that you can eat as many apples as you want. What they don't tell you, is that if you eat enough apples they will ferment, sublimate and fester right there in your very intestines! Not good. Not good at all... We know...
Visibility is 12 miles and the skies are cloudy with hazy sun. Dammit! It's windy this morning. The Coach tells us that it was already blowing at 4am when he got up. By 7am it was blowing 9.7kts and the sea surface was chopping up very nicely. The air temperature was 64.9° and the water was 66.7°. High tide was at 6:45am +4.3' and low tide will be at 12:20pm +2.6'. The buoy was reading a 3.9' swell out of the west at 263° west and we thought it looked like about 3' to 4', but pretty ragged with all of the wind. Since our initial checkout we've looked at the buoys a couple of times and the swell has increased from 3.9' to 5.9' to 7.2'. The chances of the wind dying today are pretty slim, but tomorrow could serve up an entirely different blow - and with a swell - who knows!? So, pay attention!
If you can zoom in on the second shot of the yellow delicious apples, take a look at the red rimmed worm hole. Of course you know what's worse than finding a worm in your apple? Yep, finding half a worm...
