After many cold, stormy days, the sun came out this morning but the winds were 14 to 25 mph. I couldn’t eat out so I picked up lunch at Tenby’s (tea shop) and drove to the Marina at Point Hudson and parked right by the water. The waves were spectacular all across the Straits with just a few barges going by. The waves ripped across the water and along the beach for the whole 1½ hours I sat there, mesmerized. And huge logs were being bounced around out there, too.
A big flock of sanderling flew back and forth for at least 30 minutes, flashing white every time they turned. There were clouds completely surrounding Port Townsend and you could see it raining on Whidbey. I wanted to walk but it was too windy and I could blow over.
A young guy who had been surfing came to the car by me, took off his wet suit, piece by piece, and he wrapped a big towel around his body and took off his pants. In a few seconds he was dressed. Interesting to watch and a nice body!
The sandwich was good and so was the Inspiration Oolong tea. It was a lovely time on a really boring day. Aren’t I lucky to live here?
