Take a good long look at this photo. Add a wet-suit and freezing water and TA-DA! That’s what I did today*.
Coleraine is only seven miles from two beaches, one of which is within walking distance from train station. My dear, wee Jessica (who is one of my dearest friends here and who’s an active member of the youth group) got the idea in her head a few months ago to take my teammates and I body surfing/boarding once the weather got warmer. After discussing it for the longest time, we finally went today and happily spent three hours getting pounded by the waves.
A really cool part of this story is that my teammate Haley’s family is visiting for the next week or so, so they got to go with us today and enjoy the (relatively) warm weather with us. It was a really fun time and we hope to go again soon!
In unrelated news, I promise you that my May newsletter will be out to yous soon as it is now June. Thank you for your patience and I hope to hear from you all soon!
*Note: the person in this picture is obviously not me…because he’s a man and the water looks warm.
