After our "smash fest" at the gym (a De-Manda term!) we enjoyed a great couple of hours at the White Sands Beach and I had a smash fest on the boogie board! The water was a really nice temperature and I had great fun catching the waves - or should I say shore dumpers! Couldn't believe how strong the surf was but it made it a lot more fun! Got caught by surprise with a bigger than usual wave and tried to go over the top of it but alas the wave had other ideas and over the falls I went - big time!!!! An unusual sensation doing a backflip down a wave - I got hammered!- didn't know where I was ! BUT I surfaced unscathed and beside a cossie full of sand and a bit of hurt pride (must have been a scream watching from the beach!) I headed out for some more punishment! Loved it! My ever gallant Pete was keeping a watchful eye on me and was ready to run to my rescue if I had not have surfaced! - so he tells me! Loved my hour of frolicking - will be going back for some more very soon!

| Good waves! |
 |
| Watched all the vessels returning from their morning snorkelling trips to Captain Cook Monument. Beautiful Body Glove glided past - memories of a great K-Swiss Party aboard this lovely boat! |
 |
| Spot Vicki! Readying to go into battle with the waves! |

 |
| Will she brave another one after that dumping! |
 |
| Beach Runner - or that is what this little chappy should be called - had us in stitches watching the little legs go at a hundred miles an hour as it and the family scurried about on the beach! |
 |
| Spot the turtle. He was swimming around through our legs in the surf. |

| Heading home after a lot of fun in the sun and surf! |

| Nice beach! and just down the road! Very convenient1 |
Amanda, our trusty coach and overseer wasn't able to attend our afternoon gym session so Pete and I battled out a good weights and resistance session ourselves! Yeah!
Tonight I had a cooking lesson from the GF Masterchef Amanda McKenzie and I turned out a delicious Chicken Gnocchi for dinner - the red wine while making the dish was the secret ingredient I was told! Worked wonderfully!

| Cooking the chicken gnocchi, plus- see the secret ingredient! Thanks Amanda! Loved cooking tonight! |

Another great day!
