Not a kayaking day on Saturday

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Saturday, it was, needless to say, was a stormy day.  As the rain was letting up took a ride to see the ocean.  It was low tide, but the ocean was rolling and singing a song.  There were some surfers trying to surf at Eastern Point, they were not having much luck.

As our Sunset Club walks Shore Road almost every evening.  It never disappoints.  The sunsets and of course the people we walk with.

Whale Watching Boat heading towards Eastern Point

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

On Friday there were reports of an Atlantic Right Whale off of Shore Road.  Of course, I went out to check it out, but the whales had moved on.  There was a report that the Whales were following the whale watching boat.  Found this ironic and was wondering if the whales had binoculars to people watch.  Noticed the captain of the boat was very respectful of the whale.

wintry day photos: Amitie related vessel (see Pat Morss Curious Visitor post) was out all night, often eerily or completely occluded in the thick sea smoke until blue skies gained; direction of the storm wind left Eastern point roadside past Niles Beach ice blasted; alas skating on thin ice at Niles Pond tomorrow; and saw groups of frenetic robins feeding in every neighborhood. Imagine the rough condition for the crew involved with this 1905 rescue and lighthouse keepers.
