Today, we decided not to travel as Larry’s western edge blew passed us. We had planned on going east but the wind speed was predicted to be too strong. Given we are driving the equivalent of a barn door with wheels, it was best to not go anywhere far. Instead, we chose to visit a nearby lighthouse and we were delighted to see the surf behind it.

We probably spent two hours photographing and marvelling at the waves.

At one little cove, the foam was being blown up in the air. I am used to seeing bits of paper blowing around and that is what I first thought when I saw the floating foam. For a little while, we just sat in the sunshine near the water and enjoyed the waves and marvelled at their strength.

Surprisingly, the little tour boat went out today in the Arm. I’m sure many of the passengers were glad when they returned to dry land.
