Calm sky, raging sea



The air is still, and has been all day. The sky, blue as a sugar egg. The bay is a mirror and the birds are doubled in it. And yet I can hear the ocean from here, inside the house.
The waves are huge. Not much sand to walk on, and the water tries to catch us then sinks rapidly away. Several surfers tonight, but despite seeing them warming up and running bravely into the water, I didn't see one catch a wave. Shame. Maybe next time.
