Sun, sand and good vibes

I’m not in California. Yet I’ve been having some lovely beach days. It turns out, the north east has some powerful rays too. We are on an inlet of the ocean so the sun sets over the water. In others words, our beach faces west so we can still enjoy a sunset on the sand,

Our new little retaining wall is doing its job. High tide comes up to it but doesn’t flow over, so we stay dry as the evening goes on and the tide slaps higher and higher. It’s our own tiny patch of beach and we plan to make good use of it. There will be swimming and bonfires. I’ll likely drag some paint and canvas down here as well. Fishing, clamming, even crabbing has been mentioned. I have my boat to patch and restore, so baoting perhaps. G has ideas about a cook out…

In the meantime we are both a bit tired and sore from hauling rocks and sand, so tonight we are just enjoying the sound of mini waves, creaking docks and sea birds. The glittery evening light is reflecting aggressively off the water. Summer is here.
