Beach pix from today. Over at the GSP Pavilion. DD wanted to go a little earlier to get a front row spot at the high tide line without having to go WAY out to the sides of the beach (longer distance to pull the wagon of stuff thru the sand). Also earlier is less direct brutal sun. So we were at the beach at 9am. Parking lot (even when leaving) was maybe at 25% capacity because the long weekend folks were headed home.
It was still windy this morning, too windy to extend the beach umbrella.
Looking east towards Florida.
Looking west towards Gulf Shores.
I spent over 90 minutes watching this kid ride the waves with his boogie board.
My thing sitting on the beach is I want a foot rest at about a 30-degree angle above horizontal to put my feet on. So I build one.
DD has already asked to go back to the beach tomorrow morning and I begged off. I want to fix a nice campsite breakfast of eggs and sausage. We had a decent number of people leaving yesterday as I showed but all those sites filled back up. Today more have left and they are filling slowly.
28mph wind gusts currently and chance of rain tonight near midnight and 40-50% into the morning hours tomorrow. So I have taken the EZ up awning off already and will stow away anything outside necessary in anticipation of overnight rain.
Had a nice chat last night with Arc and DW but they were gone much of the day yesterday and had an event scheduled for today. I am glad they are here. We talked about doing some burgers one night this week.
So we may have to hunker down for a while depending on the ever changing weather.
