A VERY Windy, Rainy Day

The www.sailflow.com forecast for today is spot ON!  I saw gusts of up to 33 knots on Trimming's anemometer, and it's been raining since very early this morning.  Just standing on the dock, my jeans were soaked, and I, SURPRISE!, got cold.

Coming into the dock area. 

View from "Trimming," socked-in and cold.
Even the seagulls weren't flying and were just sitting on the dock.

The local Coast Guard radio said 22-25 ft. seas, 14-seconds with visibility at 1000 ft.  SCARY to be out there!

Earlier in the day, we drove into Aberdeen town to do a little exploring and with me being a shopper,  we drove to the mall and walked around in it.  

It was kind of depressing, there was virtually no one in the mall except the employees in the stores, which was few and far between.  From what we saw of the mall, we estimated that 60-70% of the storefronts were vacant.

Logging and fishing used to be big here, but its not what it used to be, so people moved away.

 No one to the left...

...no one to the right.

So, we left.

The drive back to Westport was crazy windy and rainy!

 Whitecaps all over the place.

This photo is NOT out-of-focus, it's RAIN! 

Not fog either...RAIN!

So now we are sitting at Half Moon Bay Restaurant, getting warm and dry, awaiting the Cowboys/Redskins game.

GO COWBOYS!
