September 10, 2021. Western Head, Nova Scotia. Finally, the Surfers are Happy.

All yesterday the waves were crashing on the shore. I could tell that the waves were high but the fog was so thick you could not even see the water. All night the water roared but this morning it was still foggy. Surfing in the fog is dangerous but for all we knew, the surfers were out in the water. But this afternoon the sun sent away the fog and the surfers came out in droves. The waves were big and noisy and the causeway was lined with the cars of surfers. Finally, Gull Bay was welcoming surfers. We are having the remnants of Tropical Storm Larry. Our seas were high. And the waves were beautiful. We sat on the deck late this afternoon admiring the waves and the surfers. The wind was coming from the land so as the large waves crested, a high rooster tail flew off the top on the waves. And they kept coming. The sun was shining brightly which it made it difficult to see the surfers. But we managed. And the waves were so noisy we had difficulty hearing each other. The waves are still crashing. I hope the surfers will get another chance tomorrow. They have waited so long for the big waves to appear. Today the sulfers were happy and so were we.
