in summer, the song sings itself

A few days before the new year, I caught an early morning ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge Island, and drove toward the northwest corner of Washington along the Strait of Juan De Fuca.





























This spot's about 100 miles inland from the western coast of Washington. The swell out on the coast was around 10-12 feet, but a bit in the wrong direction.



I did find this great little sandbar farther up the road in Callahm bay, and surfed it all by myself for over an hour until the wind picked up.

This is The Dump, in Neah Bay. It's on the edge of the Makah Indian reservation. It'e both the reservation's dump, as well as the world's sketchiest parking lot for people wanting to surf the great reef wave of the same name half a mile down a steep hill from there.







Cape Flattery. The most northwestern point in the continental US. Boingo!
