Lots and lots of beach walking today, so much so that by the end of the day Diane was nearly crippled by blisters. Lest you think that will deter her, let me assure you that she is already getting psyched for her golf game Wednesday.
All the beach time paid off with some good sightings. A merganser was fishing just off the shore. He’d ride the waves, then suddenly dive and be down for a long time, only to pop up yards away from where he began after his fishing expecition.
A few days ago we saw the shell of a horseshoecrab. Today we saw one alive and it was really a cool, prehistoric looking thing with eyes on the side.
The best of all was a whole pod of porpoises playing just off the beach, putting on quite a show for us. When the first fin surfaced Jaws was foremost in our minds and the thought was SHARK! But it didn’t take long before we realized that the porpoises had come to feed and play.
