Day 1185: Pounding surf

There's something peaceful about pounding surf.  Despite the cold, walking briskly along the shore, with sun glinting on the waves, brown pelicans and gulls gliding about, gives me such joy.  It was warmer today, 51, but the air was heavy with moisture and soon rain slashed our faces.  We tucked away for a few hours to read while the rain washed away grime from the windows and signs of winter on the island.

For lunch, we got fabulous take-out sandwiches from a local deli, then we met friends from Fredonia for dinner at the Blue Moon Beach Grill for dinner and drinks.  Fun, relaxing and peaceful!

Tomorrow, is supposed to be in the 60s so we'll spend the whole day outside again.  We'll to hiking at the state park and scramble up the dunes, and then travel south along the barrier islands to hike and take pictures on the beaches and nature trails.
