Survived The Flat Spell

Only to leave on a last minute business trip to Japan on a holiday weekend no less. I did get wet on August 25th and the 31st. Both days were gutless waist high windswell. So, I'm here in Japan working 10 hours a day doing engineer stuff and wondering what I'm missing at my home break. It sucks cuz I'm only home for a week and then I've got to go to the EU for two weeks. At least I get a weekend in Ireland and with any luck there'll be some waves.....
