Day 3 on the beach pretty much followed the same pattern as the previous two days so we will not bore you with too many details.
Today there was some BIG surf, and I mean BIG surf. Some of the top competitors got crunched in the huge waves and there were some big upsets. But that is what makes surf life saving so great; it is so unpredictable and sometimes gives the other competitors a chance to shine.
Heather and her team mates managed to get a third place in the taplin relay event. Taplin is when 4 people do a relay where each person does a different discipline. Board, ski, swim, run.
Anyway we really enjoyed the competition, but are also glad it is now over and we can carry on with our trip. By the way, Fish Hoek won the competition, beating their arch rivals, Durban Surf on their own turf.
Tomorrow we are on our way again. It has been raining rather hard this evening which is a welcome respite after the heat.
