Churning seas on Tuesday morning
Through the night, the rain, ocean and especially the wind was loud and wonderful. This morning at mid tide the oceans was singing and churning.

Sea Foam
Yesterday around 5:30 pm on Shore Road came across flying Sea Foam. So what is Sea Foam? Definition from Wikipedia: Sea foam, ocean foam, beach foam, or spume is a type of foam created by the agitation of seawater, particularly when it contains higher concentrations of dissolved organic matter (including proteins, lignins, and lipids)[1] derived from sources such as the offshore breakdown of algal blooms. These compounds can act as surfactants or foaming agents. As the seawater is churned by breaking waves in the surf zone adjacent to the shore, the presence of these surfactants under these turbulent conditions traps air, forming persistent bubbles that stick to each other through surface tension. Due to its low density and persistence, foam can be blown by strong on-shore winds from the beachface inland.
