On the Ocean

I didn't think I was going to do anything this weekend. Was I wrong. Saturday afternoon Stephanie came over and we headed down to the beach as it was a perfect day. Seems like our idea wasn't original as there were alot of people down on the beach.

I had worn shorts for the first time this summer which was nice. We sat in the sand for about thirty minutes then walked along the water for about half a mile. Typical beach scene with lots of surfers people playing frisbee, football, volleyball and some game with a paddle and a little ball. We then turned around on the boardwalk and walked back.

This all was a quick reminder that I don't have beach gear so sometime in the near future I need to get: beach towel, sunscreen, sandles, and shorts (as the current ones I have are too big).

The next day I went whale watching with Jonathan and Michelle. Stephanie couldn't go because she had to work a Weight Watchers meeting. We headed over to the pier and boarded at 9:15. We pulled out about 10 min later. We were at the front of the boat and it was a little chilly especially with the wind. When we hit the ocean the waves started coming in making the boat rock which was tons of fun. After about 15 min of this I got a cup of coffee and sat down.

It was a nice relaxing ride. Luckily, I didn't get sick but it was amusing watching other people who were. We didn't get to see any whales because it was the last day of the season but they were nice enough to give us rain checks. We did get to see hundreds of dolphins who would charge the boat and ride the wake and they were entertaining.

I plan on going again but next time scheduling more to the middle of the season and make sure that Stephanie can go.
