Whale Beach

I would like to extend my deepest apologies for being such a slack communicator these past couple of weeks. No doubt you would think not much has happened during this time, however, it is rather the reverse. Veronica started a new job, and in fact I started a new job as well at Video Australasia. Additionally, it seems we have been out to eat with the majority of our friends since being back. So then why no recent postings? Quite simply we have forgotten our camera practically every time we go out nowadays. Pathetic behavior indeed.

Perhaps you will be inclined to forgive us since we have been suffering through an unusual rainy and cold summer. Most weekends seem to be very saturated lately, and being forced to trudge around with the camera seems a bit pointless. Luckily this Sunday the weather finally turned around and we awoke to a gloriously sunny day. After enjoying a nice flat white at our long lost Coffee amigo Carlos, Veronica and I drove North up the Peninsula to spend a divine day at Whale Beach.

Situated between Avalon and Palm Beach, Whale Beach is the closest Hawaiian beach experience to be found on the Northern Beaches. The sand, water, lush vegetation and ambience is just tranquil. And the houses, excuse me, mansions that dot the hills surrounding the beach are the stuff dreams are made of. Trust me, if you spend a day at that beach and don’t covet at least 5 of those houses, well, then it is obvious that you are truly an enlightened being.

We ended up hanging out on the beach most of the day. Between surfing, swimming and sun baking, Veronica and I were reminded of the great beach days we used to spend out at Makapuu. Our friends Jamie and Morgan made the trek up as well. Stoked to finally get some good weather on the weekend!
