Oh, here we go it's the 27th. Doing the passerby thing.
Hope it works. This is over by lifeguard station number eight.
There's one swimmer out in the water. It's about six thirty pm now. 27th of September, '03.
Flock of pelicans coming by... six... eight pelicans. Guess I'm headed north up the direction of the pier. Direction of the Yeukavayeuka Pier. Sea Gull tracks in the sand.
See, uh, looks like the ocean's forming a brand new sand cliff, here. I think these sand cliffs form because, umm... it looks like the land is rising, you see. Rising, huh? You know. Could mean some stress on tectonic plates and everything.
"Hello, seagull, buddie! -- Hi, seagull!"
Nice waves. Um, the water is red. Red Tide. Red Tide. Sort of a wierd color. It really is red. Maybe that's why we see the glowing stuff at night. It really looks awful. Sort of looks like kind of a sandy reddish yellow wash on the -- in the -- foam.
Boy, look at those pelicans. Here comes some more, they just go in a whole line, they're really beautiful. Two, four, six, eight, ten, twelve, fourteen, sixteen, eighteen, twenty, twenty-tw, twenty-three of these guys.
"Hi, buddies!" They really are gorgeous birds, you know.
"Hi, seagulls!"
'T's really great to be out here, it's just wonderful. It's all gray colors; overcast day. And, you know, these grays -- different grays -- are absolutely lovely. There's a yellow gray in the sand to this very unusual coloration of the water -- which shows every time a wave breaks. Instead of seeing that beautiful blue-green, now you're seeing a kind of an orange color. And, uh, there's stuff floating around in it.
Yeah, it's a gray sky as the night sets in. The beautiful subdued grays and mauves, purples and deep yellows of the overcast sea; the mighty pacific.
It's not even dark out here and I can see some of these waves glowing. They've got room to glow in. It's going to be a bright night out here tonight.
The red tide.
Uh, that's interesting. For that whole trip down to the ocean, I couldn't think while I was there. I really couldn't think. Hmm. But the sea was beautiful.
Later, it was at night, where the surf broke, it would glow with a blue radiation. Radiating glow like neon.
I'm passing a painting on the side of a restaurant of a breaking wave. It's really pretty, too. A little kitten in the alley way.
"Hi, kittie!"
Eucalyptus trees. They look like tornados. They really do. Maybe they're portraits of tornados.
