another nice early morning walk on the beach

down to the beach at 40th street this morning.. still a lot of lower cloud cover..   high tide was still over an hour away and it was way up there onto the beach getting pretty close to the dune line ..  seas calmed down some since yesterday morning but I'm sure they will get angry once again as Hurricane Maria now a Cat 5 storm continues to head NNW-- about to hit US Virgin Islands tonite and Puerto Rico later on after pummeling Dominica and St Lucia earlier today-- not good.. looks as though the Eastern Caribbean will be 'gone' after Irma and Maria.. total devastation from what the reports have been
