Adelaide is a Coffee Scene town on a Sunday morning. People stroll the beach fronts, taking in the sea air, exercising their dogs or pushing babies in prams before invading the local coffee shops. I have been known to frequent these beach side establishments on occasions but I earn my coffee.
The sea was calm and the wind gentle giving me choices. I could launch my sea kayak and plod along the coastline visiting the normal reef areas, knowing that there would be hardly any play waves to be had. A nice idea, but that would not earn me a lot of “coffee points” in the exertion or fun categories. Maybe just enough points for a decaffeinated skinny soy latte and a plain biscuit.
Or I could hit a few waves and in an hour build a tally of points that would easily go a large long black and even larger apricot filled pastry and still have points left over. So there was not really much of a decision to be made, and an hour sprinting a playboat through the surf certainly counts as interval training.
I earn my coffee and I have the photos to prove it.
Another start to a great day

Great idea to earn your coffee…the analogy of the lazy person drinking decaffeinated is poignant.
Me, I need my antioxidant boost of two coffees before earning them on the water.

Just a little bit north of Moana beach. Great little spot on an ebbing tide.

I just help myself. I have fun with anything on or in the water. Cheers and have a great New Year.
