I heard on teh news their will be a catagory 3 hurricane hitting the coast on thursday (they claim 115mph winds) I cant wait, sounds awsome, also heard on the news that the space shuttle launch has been delayed due to lightening hitting it, which means we might be able to see it launch.
We went to the beach and played soccer on it, watched the sunset
and then had a dip in the gulf of mexico, the water is so nice and warm, waves are big and the sea is very rich in salt!we had burgers for dinner and then chilled out, our tents are right next to the beach which is kool! last night was difficult to sleep because of how warm it was, it was funny at one point because as I was laying their in the tent this guy shouted out "ARGHHH GOD DAMMIT I BURNT MYSELF!!" it was so cliche lol.
Today were just gonna chill on laguna beach, which is just a bit further down from santa monica off jet skiing for 2hrs which is $120 get to ride by the side of dolphins. Here are some pictures.
Jet skiing ROCKED!! Ok so we started off parked our van in hooters car park
some of teh people who didnt come jet skiing played soccer on teh beach and sun bathed, We went shopping today and debz baught some stuff, the shops are wierd one of them had sand as the flooring, it was very surfy and kool, then later we went to the place where we were jet skiing
I had to take a temporary boat licence test, with questions like which side of the boat do you pass on? Starboard - I knew it all from camp. Then we went down to teh docks and out to the gulf of mexico, it was me and debz on teh jet ski and she started off, when teh waves got choppy its sick!!! debz is a maddog when it comes to jet skiing, full throttle everywhere until you almost come off, 110bhp they travel at 55mph approx, we went along the alcove and stopped off to swim with dolphins that was NICE! Then I drove to this island called shell island, I expected teh wakes to provide good air but their is a certain part of teh gulf that is choppier than the rest and the wakes were a real let down, when we arrived at shell island we were told about teh wildlife and their was an endangered species on their that was nesting, we then went for a swim and saw lots of crabs and stingrays. I went to pick up this one shell that looked pretty big and I got nipped by a crab and then i stood on another lol. When we got back on teh jet skis I got to ride through teh choppy waves and we caught some massive AIR!!! absolutly loved it, when we got back we had fries at Hooters which was overlooking the beach. Then we went back to the camp site and the beach for the sunset.I cooked dinner at 8pm and made jacket potatoes on a hot coal fire followed by fortune cookies :) We then all went and got drunk on teh beach, swam in teh ocean (so warm) when you splash aswell the water shimmers because of teh phospherus content! We played lots of drinking games with our camp plus a girl called pru from another trek group. Then I dug a big dip in teh sand to sleep in (shelter from teh wind) we stayed their till 4am and the wind picked up it got a bit cold so we all walked back to camp (I slept coated in sand) Woke up in teh morning and had breakfast with sand on my face.
