2023 11 10 PlusWalk DavidS PXL 20231110 032639522This surf club has great coffee!

Due to a very strong tail wind “North Easterly Buster”, we reached Elouera Beach Club fairly early by 14.15 for a rewarding coffee and chat.

Great weather, great company, what more do you want…. All up, 15.8km (on Rick’s GPS) was recorded.

See you next year!!!!
