We decided to hang out on the beach for most of the afternoon.
Hurricane Igor passed us yesterday. Not close enough to give us any bad weather at all, but the surf was pretty crazy! In fact, I think the waves were more impressive and beautiful than when Hurri-lame Earl came through.
The air temps have cooled into being tolerable (it was about 84F/28C), and it was sunny all day. Chuck tested out the water while I watched from my chair.
The rip current was very strong, but Chuck knows how to come out of it okay if he gets sucked out too far. In fact, he's had to rescue some people before who got caught in it.
I was more worried about his one-lunged ass getting pounded into the sand. Those waves were powerful!
I felt like I was in a surfing movie. Every surfer's girlfriend in the surrounding area must have been pretty lonely yesterday. That means I got to look at their fit boyfriends without the fear of being punched in the eye!
Don't worry, I wasn't being selfish. There were a lot of jiggly-boobed, football-tossing bikini girls for Chuck to ogle as well. I'm all for equal ogling opportunity!
If you enlarge this next photo and squint, you can see a tiny dark spot in the middle. That's a surfer. And he was AWESOME. He rode that wave a long way...
Everyone brings their pets to the beach. We thought this family's choice of dogs was quite interesting.
That big dog is the size of a freakin' pony! Saddle that thing up and go green! Its paws look like my hands.
The other dog could fit in a shot glass. You can barely even see the other dog!
We spent about 5 hours at the beach in total, with a little picnic in between.
Afterwards, we had to go fill a prescription for me at the drugstore by the beach. The pharmacist told me it would be about a 45 minute wait. Chuck and I decided to take a ride around the neighbourhood instead of walking around the drugstore for 45 minutes like losers.
I saw this sign whilst driving past an older beach house. In fact, I made Chuck circle back around just so I could get a picture. I'm copyrightin' this one.
HILARIOUS.
Just goes to show you: when it comes to vacationing at the beach, you're never too physically challenged to party!
Great day. Wish you were here. :)
