It was a picture perfect day. Warm and friendly waves 5-7 feet rolled invitingly under the sun at Ponquogue, the wind was fine (the Wolf on a 4.7, CD, Jimi Sobeck and I on 5.3's, and Jon Ford on a 5.8), and everyone was sailing well. Even I was sailing well. It was All Good.
But the session belongs to the Wolf and CD. They caught a wave and worked it together with such perfect timing and joy that they were blissed out later just talking about it. CD said it began when he lined up next to a shapely six-footer (wave), carved a sweet bottom turn just about perfectly, and then looked up to see the Wolf drop in. CD snaps his cutback and shoots down the wave again, "and I see vanderWolf back above, grinning through my sail window" and now they're talking to each other as they work the wave together, weaving flawlessly.
It was just about perfect. "Let's do it again!" the Wolf said to CD when the wave was done.
That's what I say about the entire day: Let's do it again!
Was that Monday? Monday was awesome.

Monday was awesome, but this story takes place on Tuesday. We had no wind on Monday out east.
