Today is two years since our beloved Wayne died surfing at Ngawi. Last year his family and friends designed, built and installed a seat at his favourite surfing spot Craps Point at Ngawi. It was raining, windy and cold but we all turned up to pay respect to Wayne while the men worked to install the seat.

Yesterday we all met again to remember and celebrate Wayne's life, its a testament to what kind of guy Wayne was to see so many family and friends make the long journey to Ngawi. We even had surfers arrive to tell us stories of surfing with Wayne.
We all had a shared lunch and the kids had a ball playing on the beach while the adults talked, walked and watched the few brave surfers out trying to catch a wave.

I'm sure Wayne would have approved of the efforts we are making to reconnect as a family and he would have loved the location!
