Dateline: Second Beach, Middletown RI, 28 November 2004
Took my boys and our pup Stormy to Sachuest Beach in Middletown (called Second Beach by everyone on the island). It's where we regularly boogie board and surf when the weather's right. Despite facing winds of roughly 30-40 mph with gusts up to 50, we walked the length of the beach and then climbed the cliffs overlooking the beach. Our goal was Purgatory Chasm, a big crack in the cliff. The sand was blowing so hard on the beach that Story's was figuratively painted during our journey (first her hind quarters as we walked with the wind and then her face and we walked against it).
Some photos from the handi phone-cam:
