Even More Enjoying the Ocean

By cmcclain on April 14, 2008.

The unexpected warmth this weekend made diving in the cold Monterey waters just a little more tolerable. Jim on the other hand believes 50 degrees, windy, and drizzly is a reason to load up the car and head to the beach with the kids. What do you expect of someone with questionable invertebrate affinities? Jim kicks off the first beach excursion of the year to Horseneck Beach in Westport, MA.

Over at Island Rambles a post and pictures on a superpod! A superpod is a rare conglomerate of smaller orca pods that moves up and down the coast offing salmon, stealing children, tormenting villages, and car-jacking. Think Sturgis for Orcas. Video below the fold.

For those landlocked readers don't worry, global warming is bringing the beach and warm sunny days to you soon.
