As the sun set, the ocean calmed a bit; low tide was two hours before and this calm was right before the incoming high.... tomorrow's high will be a King Tide. We haven't had one for over 20 years (!). It will be SEVEN feet.... hoping to get out tomorrow, early, for shots :)

Well, I should have written 20 years, not 200... that was a typo (OOPS, sorry). A King Tide is what was once known as an Astronomical High Tide, or the highest tides of the year. Some, like Wednesday's and this morning's, were inundating the beach; I saw such an occurrence two November's ago, so it's possible that even the number 20 was too many and perhaps it's every two years instead. At any rate, people in Australia, New Zealand and other Pacific nations are the one's who coined the term.... it floods low lying beaches and other areas and finally recedes a day or so later....fortunately for us we are high enough at 98 feet above sea level, that we don't see the immediate effects here. Down in the harbor, we see it a bit more, but up here, we don't... :) I have to go to the beach and stand on the cliffs like a friend of mine and I did this morning, to capture it with photos (to be shared later) :)
