56 degrees w/7 mph winds

Day 46

Went to sleep in the storm and woke to a beautiful day, sun shining bright, no rain, with a light breeze.  The seas look smooth, but I can see they are rolling high, almost hypnotic.  It isn’t until they reach Cobble Stone beach that the wave comes in with some force.  We have already seen one sailboat out to the East of us.  Later several sailboats were out…guessing this is there kind of weather!

Waves are still coming in hard and high

It looks smooth to me, but I bet a surfer would enjoy the waves we've seen

Breakfast Burritos to start the morning!

Around 11 the grass was dry enough to start working on it again.  Larry finished some around the house, then down the main path.

Saw a sailboat headed to our cove, so we thought we might be getting company.  You know how you can clean house much quicker when companies coming…well I did so much work outside trying to finish…then I saw them sail off.  Bandit barked at them, which was a first for him to bark at a boat, and for it to be such a distance away!?!

 

Trying to get a good photo of the waves for you to see what we see

Around 2 a family of three came up. They said the waves were rough.  The older gentleman had served in the CG in the 80's and knew a lot of history of our light.  He was excited to go up and see it. That was the only visitors for today.

Rocks everywhere and the cable to the island.....

We went down to the cove to see if there was any damage.  The waves did a number on the beach…it took almost all of the sand away leaving a million rocks.  Guess they were always under the sand.  The cable to the island is very much exposed  and I can see that they haven’t fixed the one problem area yet….so I’m going to send the CG an email and keep them up to date.  Everything else looked fine, no damage.

Our overnight guest for Tuesday night called and there will be 4 to 5 people.  We will be ready for them and they should have a great time being able to spend more time on the island, the sunsets, the sunrises, the morning air….yep it will be good.

More yard work, I finished the porch landing on our side, now for our showers and ready to sit and relax.  Too tired for dinner...think we will just skip it tonight!
