Beach Buoy and Another Dog arrived at 6-24 a.m.
A breeze blew from the west.
It was mild.
They headed south.
Rain fell out on the horizon.
A ship had rounded the Wind Turbines after leaving the River.
It turned to head south too.
The tide was high, the beach narrow.
The 7 a.m. club and the red coat / brown dog lady passed by , headed north.
"Morning Paul."
"Morning."
"Morning."
Team One Black Ear caught Beach Buoy up.
They walked and talked their way to the grey rocks.
They went their separate ways.
As Beach Buoy and Another Dog walked the low level route.
Sand Martins whizzed by just above head height.
No phone ready to capture the scene.
They were gone, like lost chances in life.
It was 6-56 when they reached Stubborn Dog Stack.
"Morning Mate."
Beach Buoy added five suitable stones.
He patted
THE
stone.
He topped up the wildlife water bowl.
He sat on the driftwood seat with an elevated view.
He had a sit and think.
Out at sea, two beams of light became three.
The sea sparkled like scattered diamonds where they shone.
The Beach Tractor came.
More beach cleaned stones dumped at the Grey Rocks.
"See you mate."
They returned to the beach below.
The Tractor driver was looking out to sea.
Beach Buoy and Another Dog walked the water's edge.
The beach tractor trundled back to the north.
Beach Buoy stepped to one side.
The driver waved his thanks.
Beach Buoy gave a thumbs up in reply.
A playful-looking seal popped up and seemed to be following along?
One half of Team Muzzled Dog came from the north.
They chatted as the Seal out on a show.
Dasher, the Muzzled Dog wanted to play.
They went their separate ways.
Beach Buoy stood a long while watching the Seal.
He headed north.
A song came into his head.
He scribbled as he walked.
The lady with a white dog and a black dog came along.
Beach Buoy pointed out the seal.
The lady said " Isn't it lovely when you see things like that?"
Beach Buoy agreed before continuing northwards.
Beach Buoy headed to the access ramp.
He had managed to get word to the litter pick lady.
To let her know a box was in place for her beach toy collection.
She had just topped it up .
They chatted.
Beach Buoy and Another Dog went back to the van.
Rain out at sea.
South.
Ruby spots a Sand Martin.
The Beach Tractor arrives.
