I rented a wet suit and the exact type surfboard I own at home from a shop on the Oregon coast.....I wanted to surf the Pacific. Before I did I wanted to get a campsite for the night. The campground I wanted to stay at had a sign that said “Full” but I drove in anyway....and managed the last site in the place. It was the first campground that actually had electrical hook-ups in it....I might actually be watching some TV later. But first....the beach...
The surf was good.....but the fog rolled in.....it reached a point that I couldn’t see the beach from the water. That and the purple jellyfish spooked me out a little. I managed several great rides over a couple of hours and called it a day. Exiting the water I came upon another interesting item. On the sand in front of me was what appeared to be a tentacle like arm that looked like it had been pulled from some sea alien type creature. It was about 7 feet long, as wide as my bicep at one end and as narrow as 2 inches at the other....it also had what appeared to be a human skin like covering.....if I had bumped into that sucker while in the water I probably would have lost my mind. I later learned that it was a type of grass that grows further out in the ocean.
I kept my wetsuit on until I was in the hot shower at the campground. When done I set up the satellite dish.....with electrical hookups I was able to watch TV without the drone of the generator. It worked great and gave me something to do while it rained outside.
Took a ride out later on...I made friends with a few nice playful cats but the coolest thing I saw was a Jimmy Simpson type dump truck being filled to the top with shrimp.....I wondered where that thing was headed....no refrigeration, just shrimp in a truck.
Went back to the campground and went to sleep.
