A beautiful sunrise around 6:00AM. The surf was epic. Epic meaning I was in the water enjoying the surf. Any day I can do this is a good day. My first wave was the best. A huge HUGE roller that I caught and looked over at my camera person who was just smiling camera at their side. Dwana was able to take some other good shots. Both lenses now are not able to auto focus, so taking photos is a little more challenging. The day is going to be a hot one.
My last day of 44. I look out here sitting on the sands of Arugam Bay and what do I see. A few surfers surfing the late afternoon waves of Naundry Point, A wild dog here and there, Baby point and Big Point seen in the far distance, couples in and out of the water, boats launching from the shore, surfers seen afar at Big Point, sand dunes in the North, an unceasing swell, a pocketed cloudy sky – high carpeted clouds that let just enough blue sky in. The morning boogie board photo shoot worked out well. The waves showed up all the way from Antarctica with a tropical tan. Yes, I could stay here for a while. The flies are bad here, but not as bad as Borneo. Rare to see a mosquito. The culture of Sri Lanka, even though we are technically still in a Muslim community is more pleasantly presented with more colors and more smiles. Smile and all Sri Lanka smiles with you – frown and Sri Lanka still smiles. We ate a $3 breakfast. Rotti with cheese and egg. Hard boiled eggs layered in melted cheese. The heat of the day controls the mood. When the mid-day is hot, everyone is on edge. The evening relaxes everyone. Only the guesthouse owners know the day of the week. The growing half moon has been spotted, but is hiding now.
