Today we dawn patrolled the town break I surfed the first day because the surf dropped a little. It was still great waves to our selves. After, we came back to the Gregg Henderson Lodge and ate breakfast and went hot tubing. It is so nice to have a hot tub after cold surf. After the hot tub, we had a nap, woke up and went on our next mission: Horseback Riding on the Beach.
Horseback Riding on the Beach, what a treat. I had not gone Horseback Riding since I was a child and actually had a fear of it because when I was a child my horse took off full gallop for about 1 mile. Being a 9 year old it freaked me out! So it was cool to conquer that fear for me as we had no worries and our guide did a great job choosing and controlling the horses. I actually had to change horses because my first horse was so tired.
It was a great time. We followed an estuary near the town, then into the woods and then on to the beach. It was great fun that we are not allowed to do in San Diego as they do not even allow dogs on most beaches!
After the horseback ride we ate a Mexican Food lunch in town and got started on our drive to a remote surf town with restricted access to only those who are lucky enough to know the right people. We had to drive through a private ranch that was gorgeous, filled with forest, eucalyptus groves, and great mountains and valleys. We got to the beach and saw even more great point breaks.
We stopped to get out and hike one of the points only to see more empty beautiful surf spot. At the top of the point the wind was howling offshore, so hard that the ocean was white capping, but the view was absolutely gorgeous: the ocean, more empty beach and point breaks and forest. The surf was not that big this day, but tomorrow the new swell was hitting. We were expecting a solid 8 foot swell instead of the 1-3 foot we had.
We drove up to the beach, back into the forest, over a hill and arrived to our destination. We drove down to the little village and watched the sunset on the beach. It was a great way to end the activity packed day with my beautiful wife and the setting sun on the great Pacific Ocean. We checked into our beach cabin overlooking the water, had fresh caught Corbina for dinner, did some star gazing of the dark sky and went to sleep. We saw the southern cross, which can only be seen in the southern hemisphere, so brightly.
