THIS is my FIRST week working my ALmost back to normal schedule - YIPPEE!! SOOO yesterday after packing ponchos and a picnic, I corraled a (willing!) Mike & in spite of predicted "weather" and the winds which had ALREADY reached our area, off we went to "whale watch" at our favorite spot - Cape FOULweather! (So named when discovered by Captain James Cooke on his famed exploratory journey.)
Well it turned out I had been misinformed about the current migrations, however, we loved the time away marveling at the stormy seas of Boiler, then Depot Bay(s), & the very BEST Clam Chowder EVER at reputed (Gracies)"Sea Hag" Restaurant! (And the BEST part is that we "get" to do this again in late March or April! :-)
Enroute home, we called ahead and enjoyed our (brief) stop at D&G's (*cough cough*) to leave Darcy a "stack" of her beloved "reading materials" ;-)& etc for the Grands! (Hey - we'll take what time we can get!)
Once home from our "explore", after Mike "stoked" the fire in our now cold house, we enjoyed crawling into our own warm bed! :-)
BTW, this IS what a lot of (crazy?) folks in the GNW actually DO (& ENJOY!) in winter - locally it is known as a "Storm Watch"- best accomplished with an ocean view room, plenty of hot chocolate and a good book! Pop would say "I wonder what the poor folk are doing tonight" & he was SO right!?! mc

It actually sounds fantastic. I would love to take an Oregon Coast trip sometime in the next few years!
