When Beach Buoy reached the Grey rocks, the tide was still too high there to go the Beach side of them. He decided to clamber over the rocks to get to North Gare Pier. He was rewarded for his clamber by a finding a Sea Alley. Beach Buoy looked at the Sea and gave it a thought for a moment. The fact that the land was limited; all of it edged by the Sea eventually, but the Sea; that was different story... Beach Buoy could hop into a Boat and sail to any Beach in the World; any Port. The Sea is basically one Big Road.
Although it was still early morning there was lots of heat in the wakening Sun; warming Beach Buoy's Well Worn face.
As he headed back and cleared the rocks stepping onto the Beach the 7am club were well away in the distance, returning from where they had come. No neck rub for the Big friendly Poodle today. The Sea was still so flat and as clear as a Focused Magnifying Glass. Their shadows walked just ahead of Beach Buoy and his Dog. They were short shadows; highlighting just how high the Sun was already. |
