Seeing the Sea

We finally went to the Sea today!  Even though I keep ceiling it the Ocean, it is actually the Irish Sea.

Making things fit in the new apartment meant having to donate some of the stuff I've been hanging on to.  The nearest place for us to donate, only about a 25 minute drive, was in Dun Laoghaire (sounds like Dun Leery), and just happened to be about a block from the Sea, so of course we had to go check out the water!



It was a beautiful day, but being late November and all, the ocean "breeze" was pretty chilly, and Hubby wasn't prepared for it.  We mostly walked along the harbor, but did get a peek of the coastline before he was just too cold and we had to head back.


We were able to see some shoreline where the water was very clear, but mostly it was just covered in kelp.  This picture is attempting to show the eerie opaque greenish-blue of the water in the harbor, it was kinda cool, but looked unnatural.


I hope we get to go back in the summer, with our windbreakers, and spend a bit more time walking along the shore.  I do love hearing the waves crash!
