| bad photo of seals so you can see how close to shore they were |
Okay, this was my day today. A ten minute boat ride to Long Point, a tiny island in Provincetown where the sand is soft, the ocean is vast, and there is plenty of beach.
JB, I and our friend Liz sat in front of seals all afternoon. One was 50 feet from JB and me the whole time we were in the water.
We saw two baby dolphins on the boat ride back.
The day was spectacular: you couldn't help but notice how utterly beautiful the world is.
It was low tide when we arrived back to the boat house.
So low we three had to walk a bit of distance in a foot of water off the boat.
The sand was not even.
When JB fell and then Liz, we couldn't stop laughing,
Until JB realized: soaked iPhone, soaked iPod, soaked camera.
The iphone and iPod are currently attempting rice immersion therapy. The outlook is sketchy.
JB is very upset.
We had to console ourselves with two pound lobsters and two episodes of Sex & the City.
I hope your day was at least 50% as good as mine at the sea.
Two days left.

Hi kj,
ReplyDeleteIf ever there were two words designed to grab my attention, it is the words "The Sea". Wonderful pictures. Happy day, well, until the electronics got dunked. Good luck with the rice therapy.
Hi Annie, thank you. Rice therapy has been a failure, still hoping :-)

What a lovely day! Except for the i-disasters. I hope something can be salvaged from that.
ReplyDeleteNot looking good rob. But the day was so awesome xoxo
DeleteI love it when the sun sparkles and rays through the clouds like that. It reminds me of sacred paintings showing the celestial plane somehow. I-stuff is usually quite resiliant and the rice idea is sound. Actually you can just leave them in the airing cupboard (do you have airing cupboards?) for a day or two and all might be well. I know my brother filled his pockets with snow one year when skiing. Snow melted, so immersing i-phone. Dried out and started working again after a couple of days.
ReplyDeleteI am popping by really KJ to say that I am as promised hoping, wishing and praying for things to be OK with you and your Mom. On my drive to work in the morning I make it my practise to mentally / prayerfully think of the people I care about who need a special thought. You, JB and your Mom are on that list.
Oh, and I hope to meet you one day too. Big hug xx Jos
I love you, jos. I so appreciate your care. It seems I am at quite a transition point; I'm just starting to recognize it
DeleteI wish you too everything good ♥
Love
kj
This sounds just perfect!!!! And the pictures!!!!
ReplyDeleteI just can feel it.
And Liz and lobsters.............brings back good memories :)
Love the picture with the lighthouse!
I don't need to tell you to enjoy your time there as you are already doing it!

Hi Marianne! Did you have a good visit? Did you have mussels yet?
DeleteMore and more I love that you and Felix and lo have been here in Provincetown. What a special memory!

PS love the header!
ReplyDeleteOh thanks! I didnt know about this place. I guess you have to have a private boat to get there. Idyllic. sorry about the wet equipment. but your consolation treats aound delicious.
ReplyDeleteSuki, no private boat . There's a boat shuttle on the hour from flyer's boat house xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat lucky ducks you are. I miss the oecan so much. I got no trips anywhere this Summer, poop.You had a pretty good day, hard to top, my day was good, lots of painting, but nothing beats the beach
ReplyDelete:-).xoxo
Lucky ducks indeed Annie. Except poor JB is facing no rehab for her phone, camera and music.
DeleteI was amazed how awesome it was to be on an island and to just walk into this clean ocean. With seals nearby! And gulls flying three feet overhead . I felt part of the sea :-)
Love

Just love all the photos~~what a wonderful place to be!
ReplyDeleteI think I could be consoled by the lobster and a glass of wine easily.....but give me a few episodes of NCIS so I can get my Gibbs-Fix. ;-D
Haven't had anymore strange men show up on FB~~lol!!!
XXOO~~
Anne
Hello dear Anne, NCIS for you, sex and the city for me :-). I hope you are having a sleepy comfortable day

kj
Hahaha...love that you 'consoled' yourselves with 2lb lobsters and Sex in the City, way to go girls. It looks lovely,
ReplyDeleteHells, I misspoke about the consolation, because JB is not at all consoled. She is still upset and her iPhone etc is mute :-)
DeleteIt was a good vacation, hells . I hope you are falling into spring xo
Love
kj
I love that pic of JB, it's very paintable.
ReplyDeleteand so sad for the i-disasters but consoling yourself with lobster - ok then.... not too bad. I hope you are having a lovely lovely lovely weekend.
Hi Mim! We head out tomorrow; I did everything I hoped to from my vacation list. I am grateful
Delete:-)
It might have been 8% as good :-)

Any day by the sea is a good day. A day in the mountains is the same. I do miss the sea though.
ReplyDeleteDeb, I returned to the farmlands where I live and I love it too but I miss the sea
DeleteLove
kj
You know a thing or tow about consolation :)! Of that, I have no doubt. I would do the same :). But I can do a marathon of SatC :).
ReplyDeleteAmy, it's a good thing to know, isn't it?
DeleteAnd, i do marathons of s&tc too! Every few years. :-)
Love
kj

ReplyDeleteThanks Chrisy . JB is still fuming over her lost electronics! But consolatiOns help :-)

kj
Oh gosh,,,,the soaked electronics. Not good.
ReplyDeleteThe consoling part: excellent!
Looks like an absolutely perfect time.
Were you at all concerned about sharks? I've been reading about so many following the seals, and practically coming up on the beach.
Really glad you had this time!
Babs, yes, concern about sharks. We avoided certain beaches. But we were assured nO shark sightings ever in the inlet we swam in. I thought about that with seals so nearby.
DeleteIt was so great, babs!
Love
kj
I forgot to say I adore this header too!
