What do we do on a rainy day when they are predicting 20mph winds, with gusts of 40mph, and 20ft waves? Why we hike out to the top of Whaler Island in the Crescent Bay Harbor!
A little overall view. The lighthouse is behind me.Those breakwaters are about 15ft tall. The jetty is doing its job, notice how calm the outer harbor is.Darrin’s hair likes to normally stand up straight, but this time it is the wind creating the Cupid Doll look.Brought back fond memories of our trip to Newfoundland where a ‘bit of wind’ means high winds. There was ‘a bit of wind’ today!A wee flower thriving on the edge.
Tidbit: Whaler island used to be 10 acres and home to a rendering facility (thus its name). Today it is just under 4 acres and home to the Coast Guard Station. What happened to the other 6 acres you ask? Why it was blasted and used to build the inner jetty.
