August 29, 2014 Gull Bay, Nova Scotia. Surfing.

For two days the surf was up. Surfers could be seen all day from our deck. It was Showtime, Nova Scotia style. The third hurricane of the season was in the mid Atlantic, passing by Bermuda this morning. Our weather was perfect except for the high waves, which all day yesterday and today were crashing onto our rocks. At any given time all day yesterday and today, black objects could be seen in Gull Bay. The water is so cold that all surfers wear wet suits so when you first look out to the Bay you think you might be seeing seals but on closer look, you see that the surfers are out. First thing in the morning, you see the surfers. By 9:00, the first group leaves for work, to be replaced by the students. All day, the surfers can be found in Gull Bay. It is exciting to watch. While watching from our deck, in addition to the surfers, we spotted seals cavorting in front of our house. A bit further out we saw Ganetts diving for their dinner. But the waves were the most impressive. They were noisy as well as big. In the middle of the night everyone closed their windows as the waves were so noisy. Our home was the perfect spot to watch the show both yesterday and today. We were fortunate.
