Damage to Dock Piling

Vincent and I spotted this piling on a collapsed dock. It looks like it has been chewed on for many years by sea creatures.

Sunset after Storm


They didn't call it Sunset Villas for nothing. Wish I could have captured the photo about 15 minutes before as the entire sky was red and orange.

On the Ilse

We arrived on Chincoteague VA yesterday around 2:30. Was delayed in getting into villa but it is fabulous. Great view of sunset and very spacious. Awoke after all night rain to seagulls calls and family crabbing from dock.



Walking out on dock to take photo of villa complex. Ours is first level on lower left.




Plan to spend the day at the beach on Assateague. Wonderfully water temps and nice waves. More to follow.

Freezing on the Train

This is a new one. Riding in a meat locker of a train this morning. A large number of people evacuated this car for a warmer location but us stalwart few remained to a shivering commute. Now the train is crawling between Secuacus and Penn Station and another person abandoned the car. Well, almost there so I cam hold out for a while longer.
