When we would teach weather, I remember using the expression, "Wind out of the west is best. Wind out of the east is a beast." Who ever came up with that expression to explain weather was not referring to the beach and was definitely not on an island. Especially this island. Here, when you see the flags being blown from west winds out of the bay, you can be sure that your stay at the beach will be short. Unless you can stay in the water the whole time and move quickly on and off of the beach. Those darn west winds bring with them the dreaded green head flies!
Our walk to the beach today was pretty much just that, a walk to the beach and home. I prefer to not be food for the flies and The Princess and The Boy agreed and left with me. The Bear stayed with his daddy for some surfing but they didn't last much longer....the west winds also blew in some cold water. We look forward to seeing those flags blowing in the opposite direction soon. :-)
