Sunday and Monday we didn’t do much of anything. The rain was gone but the wind was relentless. We looked at the river and it was nothing but white caps. Poor little birds tried to fly and were flapping their wings like crazy but just couldn’t get anywhere. On the other hand the bigger birds looked like they were having the time of their lives swooping and soaring on the strong air currents.
Tuesday was a delightful day! The sun was shining, the winds were calm, the air was warm. Pure perfection in our eyes.
We had to get out of the house and went for a ride with no particular destination in mind other than the post office to get the voting ballots in the mail. Nothing like waiting till the last day!
So off we went! Out the main gate of this base and made a left.
First stop,,,,the beach!
Kickin’ our sandals off, it felt so good to walk in the sand. What surprised me was how relatively small the beaches were here. I guess narrow from water to dune would be a better a description.
Do you see the surfer?
This fella stood and looked long and hard, perhaps deciding if the water was just too cold for him or not. He walked up the beach so we don’t know if he ever went in or not.
There were some on the beach, not many, and no one in swimming so I’m thinking being on the fringes of Sandy cooled the water considerably.
If you remember the 60’s TV show I Dream Of Jeannie, this is where it was suppose to take place. The town hasn’t forgotten America’s favorite genie.
We went right through town and found the place where the cruise ships come in. Here’s one that is getting ready to sail.
We only know this because as we passed it we could see lots of activity like stuff was be delivered and loaded on. It will probably set sail in a day or two.
We turned around and headed back. It such a nice day to be outside. We spent the rest afternoon sitting outside reading and puttering around.
