well only visit mettams if you are a happy natured sailor, too many grumpy folk there for some reason. why be grumpy when sailing..it make me happy but so does tequila.
meet my newest hero at mettams recently. He was about 100yrs old and we were both SUP on a windless day with nice size waves that were breaking over the reef. I don't mind rolling in and around the reef but this guy took it to new levels of reef riding.. laughed when he dented his new SUP and just paddled back out. He even got pancaked on the beach by one set.
Hope i'm just like him when I'm a 100.. He was happy and chatty all the time. Not grumpy.
