Windy Long Reef

It's Good Friday today so we had planned an action packed Easter weekend for Sophie & Sophia (Caroline's UK guests) - they had been at Sophia's relatives further up the peninsula for the week and we collected them yesterday afternoon after Caroline finished school for the holidays. However, today started off wet and the forecast for the weekend isn't good.

There was some torrential rain in the morning and the options to do things in Sydney become more limited in this weather. So we stayed at the house in the morning but as there was a break in the weather after lunch, all 7 of us trekked down to Long Reef in 2 cars. We had a quick walk around the headland in strong wind - the sea was rough and since there were no surfers out in these conditions, the parasurfers and windsurfers were out in force!

It was a popular walk but we couldn't believe the number of people who were dressed up for winter since it was still warm, despite the wind. There were great views up and down the coast, with sun over Manly to the south but rain sweeping in over Narrabeen in the north and we just made it back to the cars before the downpours started again.
