High surf warning

There was a high surf warning on Friday so we had to take a trip out to the jetty to see what it looked like. The waves were high enough that they went over the top of the jetty a few times (Andy did not appreciate getting sprayed!) The tanker out from the rocks pretty much stayed there for a few days, probably keeping boats from venturing out to sea. When we drove across the island, we noticed any time a boat tried to leave the marina the sheriff's boat was right there. There was one small craft out just beyond the rocks, but the sheriff's boat went out and they came right back in!



This shot is of the sheriff's boat heading out to intercept the little boat out past the rocks.











This is both boats coming back in.

















This shot is from the shore looking towards the jetty we were standing on. I was actually standing above the sea wall which is about 4 feet hight. The waves were pretty impressive! It was a really beautiful day though with temperatures in the 70s and a breeze to cool us off. We left here so we could go swimming at the RV park.
