Fuming
So I got up at 5:30, called the hotline three times (the last was just before I left my place at 7:30), stopped on the way to buy pastries for the guys who work the event, and when I got there it was cancelled. Pretty much flat with four people in the water and no waves coming in. (Tracks was nothing and Maili had some small ones.) You know this has happened to me before, but it was always because I didn't call the hotline again in the morning.
I was on the road for a total of two hours, and I almost caused an accident on Farrington Highway on my way home. Moreover, first thing to get those pastries I had to go back to my apartment (three blocks away) to get my driver's license (yes, I didn’t have it with me) because I was paying with a CC and they needed ID. Pretty much a screwed-up morning.
When I get home, my friend who also does the events has left a voicemail asking how the waves were because as far as he knew the event was running (and he thought I had my cell phone with me). I call him, and he checks the hotline while we're talking, and now the recording is changed. Then he asks me if I want to go with him to surf Rocky Point. Guess what I told him? It starts with "No."
