I do Duck Jibes, I'm cool.

The wind has been rather light today, I'm glad because it makes it easier to be sitting on the beach when everyone on the water is slogging. When I asked Jen what I should mention in my blog today, she replied: "Say I can do a duck jibe! I'm cool!" It's true, I've even witnessed one myself. Although it wasn't a planing one yet, Dad and Tim better watch out: Jen's going to be duck jibing circles around you soon.

Now the past three (THREE!!) weeks we have been watching the sunset from on top of Sunset Dune, but one thing we hadn't done was give sandboarding a go. There is always one or two guys going up and down the dune as everyone watches the sunset. Seeing as the sunset is rather slow, they provide some good entertainment. The boarders seem to be a bit of entrepreneurs as they give a turn to tourists, for a small fee. Jen and I went to give it a try with Daniel, Adam and Orley (sp?), the three fellow pousadaers from Israel. It was more awkward then I expected but still fun, however there aren't any lifts to take you back up to the top of the dune. Climbing up the front of the dune was a feat in itself, especially when everyone is making fun of you, your clumsy ride down and the fact the it takes you forever to climb back up. I think I'll have to hire someone to carry me up the slope next time...
