...this morning with my daughter - sunrise, smiles and her first dawn patrol.

How were the waves ? It really wasn't important whether they were good or bad !

Looks good mate!

I still do the dawn patrol with my old man, plenty of great surfs at 5am and no one out. Had plenty of times where it was just the two of us for hours a pumping!

I'm guessing these are snapshots from the gopro video?

Not as sharp as a photo so I would guess so, correct SA?

Yep, sure are - it's the GoPro 2 as well so I'm stoked with the quality.

I learnt recently (after posting here) that storing the housing and camera in crystals (cat litter type) and putting together just before the session with the strips really helps the fog issue and it seems to be working a trick - I also use dishwashing liquid on the lense so all in all, they come up fantastic as happy snaps !...and with the footage to make a video so as to embarrass her on her 21st too.

Well done mate I'm losing my daughter in a couple of weeks she's heading out into the great big world to start Uni, you don't have them for long, enjoy every moment you can.

Here you go Stuk, a poem .
Well, the end of one anyway. The last two lines do it for me.
Walking Away by C . Day Lewis (It is dedicated to his first son, Sean, and recalls a day when he was watching Sean go in to school.)

I have had worse partings, but none that so
Gnaws at my mind still. Perhaps it is roughly
Saying what God alone could perfectly show ?
How selfhood begins with a walking away,
And love is proved in the letting go.
