Dominican Republic Day 13


Phew it's a hot one today!!

Pictured is El Barco, my favourite wave here. It's down the coast from Encuentro (about and hour and a half over more potholes than you can count) which is a pain, but it's surfing heaven. Barco means boat - there's a shipwreck just outside of the peak. There are two peaks with lefts and right breaking over pretty shallow reef in the clearest blue water. The water's as warm as the air, I'm not sure what temp it is but it's perfect. We surfed here a few days ago. It rained and the local boys spooked the girls with shark tales (well, seven surfer girls crowding your slice of paradise, can't blame them) and they got out. Then we had to climb back up the muddy ravine and jungle path, and some spongers nicked the girls' flipflops! So it wasn't all good, but it was worth it. 2-3ft waves but so much fun.

Lots of other waves and fun, I'm off to get ready to go out to a traditional Dominican restaurant tonight. Only one full day left!
