We go to Whidbey every Memorial Day, (and fourth of July, Labor Day, and any week end there is a minus tide.) It is a tradition that weather does not enter into and so we sat at the ferry terminal as hail stones bounced off of our car. That could account for the short line on a Friday of Memorial Day weekend. When we drove off of the ferry, I told Molly it looked like it was clearing over Baby Island. She gave me that nervous smile you give crazy people, but when we got to the cabin, here is what we saw.
There was no wind and it was warm as the sun went down. Of course that line of clouds looks a lot like a weather front coming in, but perhaps it was the tail end because we had good weather the next day.
And we headed out to baby island
where the sea gulls were harvesting clams on the beach
people were harvesting clams on the beach
and the heron were fishing, or just standing around. It was kind of hard to tell.
We headed back to the cabin to eat cake and celebrate Joe’s birthday and yelled to the people, who didn’t seem to realize the tide was coming in, that they had better make tracks.
Molly gives you "crazy people look"? That's the look I give Molly when she says, "Let's head out to Baby Island." Can't imagine how crazy that makes you. No offense.
