January 22 - Big Waves, Major Rip and Fresh Sea Air

We walked down to the beach today and I think it was the first time in a good long while that the air smelled like fresh and clean sea air.  One wouldn't think the smell would be so shocking to someone who lives by the ocean, but so often it is tainted with cigarette smoke, fish smells, or rotting seaweed.  Today was amazing fresh after the wind and rain!  WOW. 

We had stopped by the beach earlier in the day to look at the waves, but didn't have time to touch the water.  The waves where big AND the tide was high.  By the time we went to the beach the tide was low and the waves died down a little, but there was still a distinct rip and some big sets comin' in!  Fun to watch the power of the water!
