Wed 13 Nov 2013 - Surfing at Lorne

We woke to a phone call from our friend Bob, it's so long since I had reception, that I didn't recognise the sound of the ring!

It was still raining steadily but the wind wasn't so strong and had turned round from South to S.W, which is much better for surf down here. Rodger looked on the web cam and found some good surf at Lorne, about 45 mins East.

We set off after breakfast and, although the sky and sea were grey, the scenery on the road was magnificent. There were lots of other surfers in the water at Lorne and Rodger had an hours good surf and caught lots of waves, though the water was very cold.

 We got back to Apollo Bay at about 2.30pm and enjoyed a big bacon and egg lunch. By now the rain had lessened but it was still chilly, only about 16C, so we lit the fire again and watched some more "Doc Martin". Rodger has been ringing his cousins to make some appointments for us to visit, he has about 30 living in Victoria and doesn't get to see them very often, so this is a great opportunity.
