a wild ocean

After walking this morning Denise & I spent some time inside, waiting out the rain. The wind died down by about noon and the rain changed to intermittent. It was time to head out again, this time accompanied by my camera.

We headed into the park looking for fog on the mountains.

It was too wet to bounce down any of the trails so we drove around Park Loop Road, stopping occasionally for walking and photos. The ocean was wild! Sand Beach was closed, and Thunder Hole was closed too. There was a big sign at each place saying:

WARNING
DANGEROUS SURF
USE EXTREME
CAUTION

The walkway was blocked too, but some very silly people ducked under the sign to get closer to the water. I really don't understand; Denise & I wouldn't have moved closer to that wild water even without a warning sign.

We stood still at several spots along Ocean Path and watched the ocean. Denise said that she doesn't remember ever seeing waves as crazy as the ones that were rolling in today.

Tomorrow should be a good day for wandering. The forecast calls for sunshine!
