Beach-y weekend
Jul. 18th, 2004 08:45 pmWe made it out to the Dillon Beach place around 5, plenty of time to slounge around drinking on the deck, then walk on the beach before dinner. T has a new fella and could barely stop herself from checking her watch continually. She bailed on staying over and went to his house for the eve, but not before we got a nice flame & glow from the starting-smoky fire and cooked dinner outside. I took my thermarest, hoping for stars (and L now has a telescope out there!), but the heat inland pulled the fog in, drat.
It is so funky there, but fabulous, too. L's place is on a cul de sac in the old section, right near the water and under some old pine trees. I like her street best of all. It's a zoo out in the more public areas.
Blue skies in the morning, then the fog came in again. J came out with the dogs and my great plans to leave by 1 PM were shoved aside with the important business of walking the entire way down the bay beach, then the ocean beach, a 45-55 min. walk one way, and back. We walked out to the point, where the Pacific and Tomales Bay meet and form this odd, dangerous-for-boats-unless-you-know-what-you-are-doing channel. The water is choppy and goes in conflicting directions - some small breakers continue to the shore, and other get churned up and turn back out to sea. Alot of kids were swimming. Brrr. Also, hello, Tomales Bay is a great white & leopard shark hatchery. I wouldn't let my kids swim there if I had any. The leopards are pretty harmless, but the great whites. Dunno. A 14 foot great white attacked a surfer at Salmon Creek a few years ago, about 10 miles up the coast as the pelican flies. He survived only because of some freaky confluence of cascading propitious events.
We eventually got going. G didn't know who John Mayer is so we listened to Heavier Things on the way back. Huh. One of the acoustic songs, Home Life, is on HT. I hadn't realized that. It was fabulous all-acoustic.
I've got a bunch of medical appointments Mon. AM so I'm here for about 3 hours tonight. Gotta get some work done. Wish me luck on that.
