September 20, 2021. Western Head, Nova Scotia. Surfing Paradise.

In the middle of the night the wind began to blow. By 7:00am there were 7 surfers on Gull Bay. The waves were high and grew during the day. The ocean was perfect for the surfers. Pat walked down to the causeway late in the morning and one lady surfer told Pat that the waves were higher than normal and that the waves really tossed her around. "Surfing is hard work today," she said. "But it is great fun." All day Sunday they surferd, sometimes taking a break in their vans. They were still there at 6:00pm but they were gone by dark. The day was glorious with full sun and of course the high wind. We sat outside to watch the action in the afternoon and we were hot. I had no idea what was causing the high waves because this morning they were gone. But for a day, finally, the surfers were happy. And so were we. The surfers just appear on the scene. They have a system to check the height of the waves. Then they alert their bussies. They change into their wet suit standing on the road beside their vehicle. They do the same at the end of their day. So if you wish to see very fit men and women naked by their van this would be the place. They pay no attention to those walking or driving by. Yeaterday it was indeed a surfers paradise, but only for the one day. But it was fun while it lasted.
