Just when nearly everybody had packed away his stuff, the wind picked up and a 2 hour session until sunset in the nearly empty waves showed the potential of the spot. This 2 hours alone, beeing out with friends and havin fun justified the whole ordeal of getting there. Sometimes it is not the number of hours or the size of the waves, it is the special moment that makes it all worthwile.
After that session, it didn´t even matter that all bars and restaurants in Wissant had closed after we derigged our stuff. It didn´t matter that the forecasts weren´t looking as promising as they did when we started our trip. It didn´t matter that is was raining on our final morning. We keept to our plan and went out for another short session till the wind dropped and we packed our stuff, relaxed in the knowledge that we wouldn´t miss anything.
Then it was time again for the road...but that meant time to plan our next trip... :-)
