The view is good. The wind is low velocity and the wave action normal. We had two days of rain and managed to get about an inch and one-half. The only one out there is a jogger. Last week’s photo.

Sunday – Fifty-Two Views of the Gulf
I managed to get the spot in spite of the low-riding sun. Today’s shot shows there is a little wind and the temperature was in the low 70’s due to a front moving in overnight. We are supposed to have two days where the daytime highs are no more than the low 80s. Then it’s […]
