Saturday morning's locks are fully subscribed. As boats put to sea after a stormy week.
Surveyed, from the safety of a sandbank, by the Sovereign Harbour seal.
Whose contemplative peace has been disturbed by the ensuing hubbub.
The seal smiles at the antics of the humans. Before returning to a study of ripples, stirred by an easterly zephyr.
Today, the wind is resting, after its strenuous exertions. Tomorrow, sixteen knots, still from the east, is forecast. Both wind and tide, seemingly, set perfect, for a rounding of Selsey Bill, through the (inner) 'Shingle Street' passage.
Today’s conditions are better suited to a snooze in the spring sunshine. As the wise seal well knows.
