Blu hadn't been close to a beach before our last trip. He had seen beaches at a distance, but had no idea how much fun they could be. Well, one of the places we stayed at was Emerald Beach, just north of Coffs Harbour. This is a small town with a great beach for surfers and families. There are usually big waves for surfers at the end near the headland, and calmer water for kids further down the beach. I figured it was time for Blu to get down onto the beach. The problem was that he was scared of waves and crabs and wouldn't go there. So, I sat with him in a tree near the beach and we watched the surfers and kids having fun, and after a while I managed to get him onto the sand. I was about to get him into the water when Nemesis (AKA Mum) arrived and read the riot act about small bears and water. Maybe some day I will manage to get into the ocean.
