It was another stunning, but quiet day at Woody Head. Everything seems to move on slo-mo, it was a Sunday after all. Almost no wind on an un-swelled ocean meant that even the fish seem to have a rest. Nothing hit my lines, which I didn’t mind. It is just nice being out there watching turtles and dolphins cruising by.
