Sunday Seas!


Today we prepared for the storm, all loose items and the screen tent came down. Plenty of water and food, just in case. Then we took a ride to the Beavertail Lighthouse in Jamestown. It was a bit cloud and a bit windy but still beautiful and not too many people.

It isn't just humans that like to watch the waves.


And there are some hardy souls who still love to fish in the surf.


After we enjoyed relaxing on the rocks, we went to Forty Getty which is an old fort that has underground bunkers from the war. Great place to enjoy some views of the inner bay and Dutch Island Lighthouse.


I also took a video if you would like to see the waves in motion and how hard it is to hold a camera still in the wind, lol. Tomorrow, the real storm comes, so we will be hunkering down and hoping the power stays on, but we do have a generator, just in case.

    I hope you are spared any real damage. Be safe!!!
    Loved the video. Lake Erie was pretty wild today, too, and will be for the next few days (and not because of Sandy!).
    Hugs :)

    Stay safe. Your video was great. I can remember waves like this during the winter months in Newport without a storm. I now think the Oregon coast during a storm is wilder. Take pics after it's all over. Hope your power stays on--but saw that RI had 80,000 without.

    There is an art to holding a camera still when your facing an incoming tide. IT's NOT EASY.... well done :-)
