Mornin'! Almost didn't make it this morning. Had to beat the visitors and vacationers to the grocery store. (It'll be a challenge for the next few weeks and you've got to make it work by doing everyday things with intense heat and crowds thrown in the mix.) Was at the front door when the manager unlocked it. It was oppressive early this morning when going outside. It was 88° around 7a.m., and it's 93° already. We're going to hit 100° on the island today or hover around 99°. My bet is we'll hit the 100° mark. Breezes...minimal out of the West (ugh). We all know they're the warm land breezes which bring the oppressive heat and the greenheads. The beach could be unbearable today. I heard yesterday was a tough beach day with the flies and the intensely hot sand and cold ocean. By 4-5p.m. today, the breezes will shift and come off the ocean and bring cooler air and blow those damn flies outta here. Thought a few snowy pix would fit the bill today. High tide: 2:11p.m.; Low tide: 7:38p.m.; Ocean temp: 60something°; sunset: 8:19p.m.. A couple things...prepare for an intense beach day...proper shoes to trek the burning sand (I heard flipflops didn't work yesterday...just saying), plenty of water to drink as well as spray on you, umbrella, sunblock, cover-up...and anything else you choose to carry across the Gobi. Don't forget...pick up your trash or it will wash into the sea, thus choke some beautiful sea creature to death.
