this morning seemed so long ago. in fact, it’s almost next morning and i’m still awake working now. surfed perfect glassy bowls and rode some long nice waves. then pulled anchor and seen the biggest pod of dolphins in my life. wild dolphins!

so we went to swim with them, play with them, and shoot photos of them. got some amazing images and can’t wait to download them.

then picked up Team Ishigaki right from their steps of their hotel. Kara-san, Miwa-san, Yuuta-san, and Nanako-san. all surfers, all islanders, and all big hearts.

Nanako-san with the special free dessert. i can’t believe how much this girl can eat. haha.
it’s midnight and the latest i’ve been up in a very long time. my eyes are closing and tomorrow is going to be another long day in the ocean. gosh, i can’t believe how busy i’ve been working and playing with my friends. took about a thousand photos that will have to be downloaded later because one eye is already closed. see you early morning tomorrow. goodnight.
