Thinner offshore stratocumulus clouds deepened in the onshore convergence zone, amidst a stiff breeze, rendering a darker overhead cloud deck near the coast. This created a somewhat melancholy, cavernous (looking out from within) effect that befit this cool, wet, somber landscape and seascape quite well. A mixture of sporadic drizzle and sea spray kept everything wet. Someone left small cairns at the end of the log, and the flat beach stones used in them hadn’t blown or washed off yet.
