For Westies, summer really is our time. We endure the howling bite of winter's south westerlies for these days. Summer days of boardies, groomed banks and weeks of offshores. Summer days made all the more sweeter and special because of the wonderful contrast between seasons. It's amplified on the coast, the bad makes you appreciate the good, there is no complacency.

Last week was yet another W.A.S. [West Appreciation Situation]. Day after day of perfect weather, off shores, favourable tides and go to banks on the open coast. In a break with regular transmission, here's a new way of doing things; the PhotoCPL top 50 yes 5-0 images from the week that W.A.S.
