Alex and I headed up to Wilderness early to beat the zoo and rendezvous with my friend from San Juan, Pepe. Soon after we arrived, Jason from Cape May, NJ, joined us out in the water. After a hour or so I spotted Pepe and his van, but he watched from the shoreline. He later told me that he saw a couple of guys try to paddle out and have problems so he decided to pass and wait until later. He doesn't surf much anymore so is out of shape... his last time out was in January with Alex and I. After nearly 3 hours in the water I rode one in to escape the growing mass of waveriders and share some times with my buddy. After dropping Alex off at the Villa, Pepe and I headed over to catch a few waves at Domes. I watched for about an hour before eventually paddling out to cool off and catch a few more. The waves were small but fun in a moderate crowd. After a couple of beers at the Calypso we headed back to the Villa to pick up Beth and Alex for a mid afternoon lunch at The Paradise in Rincón. The family lunched on arroz con pollo y habichuelas rojas with sides of amarillos. Pepe had chuletas and maduros. Fresh OJ all around (with some barrilito in a couple). Rest of the day was spent drinking beer on our porch at the Villa, napping, drinking some more beer and catching up with happenings in our families and the Island over the past year. Around nightfall, Pepe headed back home. |
