It was about 15 degrees colder today than yesterday even though we still had beautiful clear blue polar skies and lots of sunshine. With the wind chill the weather person said it had a real feel of only about 32 degrees! But Mom knowing how much we love this weather pulled on the thermals, layered on the sweaters and donned her thick coat, scarf, gloves and hat and off we went. We didn't do a lot of walking today as the wind was whipping up the sand and we felt we were being sandblasted so we headed off to the rocky breakwater (which also blocks the wind) and waited for a ship we noticed was coming into the channel. Todays ship was the Tuju Arrow (built in 2010) which sails under the flag of the Bahamas. It is a general cargo ship that is 225 meters (738 feet) long. Mom says if you ever want to see "the face of happy" - just look at the photo of me - dog oh dog that cold wind blowing through my furs felt so good. The dweeb on the other paw was huddled up next to the Mom on the rocks - he enjoys the cold but he doesn't like the wind at all - what a wuz! PPsss - we didn't find a single treasure on the beach today :(

Oh Reilly, Katie would have loved that wind too!
ReplyDeleteWe are having lots of wind here too. We love the cold and a bit of wind, but not like these. We don't have any beach sand but the wind still finds stuff to whip around. Ouch!!!

ReplyDeleteied to comment last night on your treasures but our laptop was acting up badly, when mom lived close to savannah she always found those beautiful sand dollars and she loved the story, it is windy today also here and very very cold we are staying in. stella rose
Oh I love the wind and all the smells it blows into my nose. Sometimes I think I can smell miles and miles away. Glad you had a good day.
ReplyDeleteAroo to you,
Sully
It was pretty cold here today so I mostly stayed in. I am glad you can go out and enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteZiggy Out!!
I need to get a close up picture of our beach. You will be shocked, and you would definitely need your boots to walk on certain spots!
ReplyDeleteWe don't mind the wind when we're in the open. But at home it makes doors move and make creepy noises.
ReplyDeleteYou sure do look happy, Reilly! We love the colder invigorating weather too!
ReplyDeleteI finks all the treasures where hiding from the wind
ReplyDeleteButt, that is a VERY happy face Reilly, you were haffing a GREAT time I can tell
Loves and licky kisses

If you want to talk about cold and windy, you need to move back here to MN. It has been dreadful with the wind the past few days. We love the cold, but can't stand the wind.
ReplyDeletea smile on a beach with the wind in the furs... that's better than to ride a convertible huh?
ReplyDeleteBRRRRRRR! That is cold! Florida is not supposed to be this cold! I am glad you got out for a small adventure though. Keep your momma warm, pals.
ReplyDeleteWe are not fans of the wind, it makes Mabel a little crazy when it blows hard

You would not like the wind here, it is like a knife!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is some big ship!

32 sounds great! A little warm, but pretty great!
ReplyDeleteCammie!
32 degrees is nothing! But I agree the wind makes it much worse so the Dweeb gets our sympathy. Love Dolly
ReplyDeleteyou look good in the wind!
ReplyDeleteThank you for braving the cold wind to send us your lovely picture and the big boat pictures too. 32º is not very cold to us, but we know that when you live in a place that's usually very warm, cold can feel much colder. (Does that make sense?)
