Day 3

0730
Awoke to reports of chest high and glassy.  Hurried out the beach to find it
as reported, though it seemed to have gone down a little.  Side-offshore
breeze.  For the first 30 - 45 mins I caught about all I paddled for, except
for one kooky takeoff.  Wind picked up and became straight side-shore, and
surf became blown out.  Even so, this was the best session so far.

1030
Neal made breakfast - blueberry pancakes and sausages, washed down the
coffee spiked with rum.

Afternoon
Surf was blown out, so Neal, Rod, Mike, DeeDee, Sveta, and I all piled into
Neal's surf bus to visit some surf shops.  Bought a new sock for my 7-4 Mike
Eaton.  Checked out Frisco and spot near Lighthouse View Motel.  Negative.

Late Afternoon
Several guys went out for a session.  Robb, Sveta, and I remained and made
Robb's mongo-burgers for the crew.

1800-1920
Robb and I went out just to get wet.  It was blowing, almost VAS.  Robb
(wave-magnet) caught a couple.  I was on the 7-4, but still got skunked.

Evening
Kirk made chicken and macaroni cassarole for dinner.  A few beers and drinks
were consumed, but not too much partying as all were pretty tired.  Watched
the Endless Summer for the 93rd time.  Never get tired of that flick.

"No offense, but the GP has really gone downhill culinary-wise."

It wasn't "chicken," but wings. They were marinated in Key Lime Juice and salt all afternoon, and rubbed twice with Zatarain's creole salts. After about 6 hours, they were rolled and marinated in Green Jerk from the Costa Rica Pepper Company. During grilling, additional creole salts were added.

The "macaroni casserole" was Bajan macaroni pie. Included fresh green onions, peas, and an equal weight of cheddar cheese and macaroni, and topped with a bread crumb crust. Good filler and good carbs in anticipation of another surfing day.

My wife and I have made both of those foods before, and have tried to tweak the recipes to make them taste like food we ate at the nightly Oistins Fish Fry in southern Barbados 4 months ago. Damn good food that deserved a description!
