Break 32 - Berry's beach, Phillip Island

Monday 25th April and after a surf at Surf Beach, Sam and I head to Smiths's beach for our usual lunch and coffee and it doesn't dissapoint - the best wraps, fish and chips and coffee on the island, a must visit at Phillip Island.  After filling up we head left from Smiths down back beach road and past the grand prix track; we see Berry's Beach Rd and decide to check it out, having driven past it countless times on the way to Cat Bay.  Berry's Beach is a great visit - a winding track down to the beach through scrub to emerge into a semi-circular beach with red cliff down the end, green hills in backdrop and black rock point on the right.  The break today is all close outs but Sam and I head out anyway and sit about 3/4 of the way out and cathc some reforms.  We both get a few waves but more than anything just enjoy the setting, the sun and probably for me the last chance for some time to wear a summer wettie in mild water.  Really enjoyable 45 mins in the water, less for the waves and more for juts finding another great Victorian beach.  There is a walk from Berry's beach round to Pyramid rock and that looks fantastic. 


Today is Break 32 and I think I'm still on track, although my family I think have given up on me and think of my quest for 50 as slightly Don Quixote in nature - futile quest of the old man.  The next 6 weeks I think are crucial and so next weekend will try and double up again.
