My brother-in-law, David, had arranged some class accommodation at a beachside pad and after an uneventful ride up on one of those little prop planes we were ready to rock.
His royal highness, Flynn absolutely loved the beach and also all the attention from Aunty T and Grandma. He really enjoyed kicking the sand and learn't pretty quickly sand is not that tasty.
The days went something like this:
5-5.30am: Wake the house up by banging on doors.
5.30am: Hand Flynn over to Grandma or Aunty T to deal with, go for swim or surf.
7.30am: Harass Grey Grey for breakfast
7.35am: Coffee run
8am: swim in pool
8.30am: Listen to Aunty T's plans for the day and then revert back to the beach
1pm: Meat pie (or crocodile pie) for lunch
2pm: rest, beach optional
3.30pm: swim in pool again, surf for some
5pm: Check to see if Flynn is ok if you could get him back from Aunty T and Grandma
5.30pm: Chardy hour on the deck
6.30pm: start dinner
8.15pm: bed then snoring time.
Highlights included some cold bevvies at the 1770 pub, stand up paddle boarding and just generally chillen and doing nothing.
The surf was pumping on the Thursday and gradually got smaller but was generally pretty good. Agnus Water is a mixture of a beach break with a right hand point break. My first surf mad me realise how unfit I am and it was a shame as the waves were really good. Jonty was tearing it up and had really improved since I last saw him. Definitely something I need to get back into (may I get a board boss? pleaseeeee)
A tremendous holiday and I think we're all feeling thoroughly relaxed now.
