Sea smoke


Here is a view of the ocean that you will not see in the summer! We call it sea smoke. It is caused when the ocean is warmer than the air and the evaporation is faster than the air can absorb the vapor. This occurs on days like this, with the ocean temperature a balmy 40 degrees, and the air a frigid 15 degrees. I like to think of it as an ocean soup!

Winter cold has moved in. We have been spoiled with above normal temperatures lately. So, the contrast is quite uncomfortable. With the wind howling, they do not make enough winter clothing to be able to enjoy being outside for very long. The weather person on TV just said 1-10 degrees tonight.

But it is the first day of February, and our daylight has increased 56 minutes since December. Things are moving in the right direction. Reservations continue to roll in every day. This is very exciting!

Hope you are all staying warm.

All for now, Sue
