house 2

all for the princely sum of 50,000 euros.  what appears to be three houses all in one with a separate annex opposite, with gardens and outbuildings (ideal for surf board storage)
 
will take a good long hard look at this one during the week. no project needed but does need a new roof.  nestling in the heart of raposeira, could be a good option, the annex can easily be converted into an apartment for rent .

house 1

only found out about this one two days ago, sitting in a nice plot of land on the edge of raposeira and allegidly all for 20,000 euros.  there is a for sale sign painted on the wall but no contact numbers, i guess will need a little local knowledge to find out who owns this one.
 
will probably need a project for this place, a little too lengthy for my taste but at that price , could be good

Hawaiian tropics

why did i have to go all the way to lagos to get some of this in factor 6?

the early bird catches the surf

or not as the case may be.
 
got up at 6,30 mthis morning hoping for some rideable swell.  last night the south looked promising so i got up extra early to check it out despite being bang on low tide.
 
dissapointed!  a lot of sea mist all over and a small wave that would be ridebale normally but because of the low tide it was closing out – will try ingrina at lunchtime

soo flipping hot

i drank a litre and a half of water this morning and not been to the toilet once, oh my god.
 
its gonna get hotter too.
 
got lumbered with a great big iveco truck this morning, everything is so much heavier than a car and with the heat, i am knackered already.
 
 
sweaty betty

wind maketh not a wave my friend

please let me clear this up for you all.  If i hear one more person ask if i surfed while the wind was at gale force, i am gonna shoot someone.
 
local winds can only lightly influence the wave as it comes ashore.  the wave is created out at sea by storms, low and high pressure and gravitational pull from the moon and/or sun.
 
when the wave gets here, it can be helped by a wind blowing offshore or spoilt by a wind blowing onshore, the heavier the wind, the more effect it can have, but it doesnt make surfable waves on its own.
 
And as for that stupid english fool that i passed in the toilet of the dirty duck last time i was in england, you are an ass!!!!  you told me ´surf´s up dude´but i bet my best paddling arm you had no idea what you had said…….tosser.
 
so today, when i finished work i was gagging for some surf, tried, mareta, tonel, beliche, tolheiro, ponte ruiva, armado and carapateira – all a complete waste of time.  looks like a new moon tomorrow so things might improve for the weekend.
 
i was so hungry, i headed to the dromedario for theri special chapatta and chips, mayonaise all over the place, i love the stuff.
 
anyway
 
enough for now
