We trekked down to the beach Tuesday afternoon after we got our chores done and got semi-ready for the move Wednesday down the Oregon coast, we spent a couple of hours walking barefoot along the breaking waves of the ocean. With the full moon, the tides are higher and the waves are the highest we have seen since being here. A couple of days before when we walked along the water was pretty calm and we found two big sand dollar shells. How cool was that! But because the water was so rough, the only thing we found was many sea gulls fighting over crabs that had washed ashore.
The pictures here show a beautiful beach, tide out, lots of sun - but was deceiving - we were freezing. The water temp was about 54 and with the high wind, wading along the edge of the water made our feet freeze. We had on wind breakers and still we froze. We saw two girls boogey boarding in the waves and could not figure out how they could stand to be in that water and the wind. Brrrrrrr.
We walked about an hour, strolled over to where a group of kiters were flying their kites, took some lasting photos and came back to the RV. Not sure if this is the longest beach in the world, but it sure was pretty. With the haze and the sand spray from the high winds we could not see down the beach to the international kite festival, our goal originally, but that's okay. We felt we had had enough of the ocean to hold us until we move south along the Oregon Coast.
