Surfed Pt. Judith Lighthouse for first time in 30 years.  Good waves but really crowded. We have it good in Florida!  This was Misquamicut in the morning..

Step one...pack & go.  No excuses.

OK, I admit it.  If I could carry it all,  I would take 6 boards, a first aid kit to support a small nation and enough clothes to  cover all contingencies...including a chance VIP invitation.   BUT this is a SCST surf trip. Two boards and a carry on. No frills.  Tee shirts, boardies and wax. Cutting the load as we speak.   Camera and computer represent most of the weight.

Atlantic turns on (finally) with Tropical Storm Bertha.  Hope to catch some waves  in FL and RI next week with departure from RI to Mexico for SCST III end of week. Just wishful thinking...but swell for Mexico looking good.
