Moving

[deepmud]

Dude, looks like you landed really well. Older parents are part of life. That's part of what kept me out of the water a bit myself. But things always work out it seems.

Your place is beautiful man.

Thanks - I'm getting used to it. The views constantly change as weather moves up from the coast - a lot of view for a few hundred feet of elevation   Mom sure is happy to have me nearby   She's so grateful I feel kind of bad for not moving sooner but I didn't have remote work options before - so it is just part of the new world I am in to be able to live where it makes sense vs where I have to make money.

EDIT: Now that I sold my 4x4 that made me "Deepmud" the last 30 years or so - who am I now?

Yeah, Deep is 30-40 minutes from one of WA's better surf spots (Westport). And a good place for getting time on water, to transition from river runner to surfer      

I may need a surf board or something I can't imagine putting the Bark out in the surf lol but maybe my Starboard 28x14 is surfy enough to ride the smaller waves a little. I haven't seen anyone out in the surf but I see boards on cars all the time when we go there to walk or drive on the beach.  I'd like to try to learn - the videos of "slow rollers" appeal to me more than the curls and breakers but I'm game to try it out.

Of the Westport breaks, try the jetty. Its in Westhaven state park.  Park in the parking lot, crest the dune, and you're looking right down on it.
