The tide is at its peak. There is a wind out of the south south east. Black clouds blanket the sky in the west and the sea is grey and choppy. Crossing the bridge I pass two girls walking, and a young Chinese couple fishing. There are a few power boats out in spite of the cold. Again I saw only one tern, a few sandpipers, a flock of geese or ducks high over the inland shore of the bay and a solitary gull floating above the bridge in the stiff wind.

The water in the bay is a muddy green today. The water in the sea dark blue. A cool wind blows from the east. One tern circles over the bridge. The guard is at the gate; The summer season has begun.
