Mist, Food and Surf

Tiverton Harbor as it grays over

Wednesday, September 20, Tiverton, Rhode Island--Tropical Storm José rolled in last night and it rained.  It wasn't enough to stop us from eating in the lee of the house outside under the deck roof.  But it did pummel the roof and this morning we decided to head to the beach to see the surf.

The beaches on the south coast of Rhode Island are stoney with promontories of rocks.  The wind driven surf meant the waves were about five feet high--just fine for the surfers.  We marveled at their fortitude, though the water at 60F wasn't as cold as the Pacific.  

Then, home for lunch--a chicken curry salad with brown bread and a bit of rosé.   A fine way to finish our visit here.  The mist has begun to roll in and we may face fog tonight.  We head out for dinner this evening and then start the two-day trip back to Washington tomorrow.
