Misty Monday

We get a good dose of west coast ocean weather on Monday — mist, drizzle and rainy rainy rain. No doom and gloom here though! The cool part is looking out at the sea stacks from the beach house deck and seeing them in all their ghostly glory.











Thanks to the rain we enjoy a quieter day. We light a fire in the fire place, but something is amiss, causing smoke to permeate the big main room. We spend a bit of time with the windows and doors open, trying to air things out.

Susan, Mom, Dad and I drive into town to do a bit of shopping while Jenn stays behind and gets to work on these blogs. We do some exploring, hit the Dolphin gift shop and go into the suerpmarket to stock up on soup and coconut M&M's. Can't get those back at home and they are super tropical yummy!

After lunch, Susan, Jenn and I suit up in our wet gear and take a walk along the Gualala beach. It's really not too bad. The tide is out and we can walk for quite a while along the shore. Susan and I play tag with the big waves and keep on losing, getting wet feet. We see a couple of river muskrats in the Gualala River and catch three big pelicans resting up on the pebbly shore. It's our best close up view of the pellys yet!
