Sorry for the late mail today, busy busy; you know how it is.  I heard on the grapevine that the weather's been pretty average in Sydney so I hope you're rugged up and dry.   It's probably time for an afternoon coffee, a slice of mudcake and a quick little imaginary holiday to Raglan.  Here in NZ it's pretty much the opposite.  The sun is shining, the wind's offshore and a new groundswell rolled into town this morning.  Tick. Tick. Tick. The golden rule of a surf trip is that you never drive away from waves so, with that in mind we could hardly leave Raglan with a fresh swell on the charts.  We've been here five days already and the points of Raglan have delivered everyday with this morning adding the jewel in the crown.  It's time to move now but with a small swell due for Friday on the East Coast and a classic day of surfing this morning the time is probably right.

See you later Raglan, thanks for the waves and hospitality!

Looks like swell in Manly tomorrow but unfavourable winds... Friday could be the ticket though.
