Up until now, the Atlantic Ocean has been calm, really like a big pond. A very big pond. The whole time Christina and the girls were here, they saw no waves. Just ripples. The same with the Texans. No big waves. No high tides. No surfers in Gull Bay. Every day, people looked for high seas but to no avail. Not even enough wind to fly kites. Fortunately, there had been enough rain so there was no burn ban. Everyone was disappointed with the lack of big waves.
The Texans left for home this past Tuesday. Lo and behold, on the Wednesday the wind began to blow and the waves were high, crashing onto the shore with a ferocious sound. At high tide, the water was right up to the area of foliage beside the lawn. The ocean has been active all this week but every day had a different level of activity. The moral of the story is that you must stay a bit longer in order to see the full extent of the variety of the Atlantic Ocean. You really never know what will happen next.
