There was a lot of yelled chitchat on the beach, but I couldn't really hear it between the crashing waves and my ear plugs.
I think my standards have just gotten lower - last week I would have said, "It's too rough to swim."
But as the colder seasons approach, "It's like Bar Time," said Mermaid Princess. "Your options become more limited."
Yeah, I guess I'll have one more. We thrashed our way up to the Little House (first I've actually seen it) and MP went to the Kayak rack. A lot of up and down, easier or at last faster on the way back.
Coming in to shore was like coming in for a landing, but the waves were just this side of manageable.
I wanted to post this picture from Sunday (Marathon Day) when the water was calm and clear as glass. This is looking south from midway along the jetty - I hadn't noticed the grafitti before:
