Yesterday we played in The Longest Day, a one-day beach ultimate tournament in Narrabeen. It is appropriately named for the Summer solstice. We played on a team with some friends, and ended up doing better than we thought we would. We only lost one game out of seven, to one of the top ranked teams. It was hot, but we managed to jump into the ocean between games for maximum refreshment.
One thing that set this tournament apart from all the others: all of the beautiful, endless fruit. It's common for there to be some apples and bananas available for each team at just about any tournament, but for some reason at this tournament they go all out. There were boxes of cherries and lychees, mangoes, peaches, plums, bananas, and sliced watermelon, honeydew, pineapple, and canteloupe (aka rockmelon). I think we each ate our tournament fees' worth of fruit.
We finished our day in the sun with a team Thai meal for dinner.
