I've been watching this video a lot in the last couple of days. We've had some swell too and the boys have been hopping with joy as their favourite reef breaks went off. I mostly watched and did some epic paddles around a smaller wave that I managed to catch ooh umm once. Still once is better than not at all. Then Chris came home and the swell disappeared... we had high hopes for Igor this weekend, but so far no dice. This is good: Ceann cropaig (a fishy haggis): Fresh fish livers (Ling is best) Oatmeal Chopped onions Butter for softening onions Salt and pepper A medium sized fish head (Cod is best, but Ling or another round white fish will do). Clean the fish head well and take out all the gills and associated gunk. Soften the onions in a little butter, chop the livers and mix both with oatmeal, season generously and stuff into the head. Wrap in foil and bake in a hot oven for about half an hour. Serve with boiled tatties. Delicious.
I've become a little obsessed with the idea of owning one of these: I've been dreaming about them, seriously. I'm not sure what tint I want as I think if I decide on that I'll get my credit card out, and I really can't afford it. I dunno if I could even ride the thing. But oh how I want to try.
