Last evening brought a lovely sunset after all the moisture in the air.  The skies were dark out over the ocean and it was clearly pouring rain,  so I didn’t think there would be a sunset. Then suddenly, there was some clearing out over the horizon and the sun blasted through like a ball of fire!  The sky turned pastel colors of pink, orange, and purple and it was quite a show.  The evening was extremely pleasant and calm,  so I loaded up my board onto  my car in hopes of some good  paddling the next day.  I got up early so I would be sure to get out on the ocean, but the day was windy again and looking stormy.  I looked down to the ocean from my lanai with the binoculars, and I could already see that it was blown out, rough and there were white caps.  Not a day for the beach!  I did happen to see a whale while I was checking the ocean conditions with the binoculars, though, so that was a plus.   I hope this storm front passes soon because I really want to paddle!!!!
