[0:05]So, we're walking to the ocean. It's

[0:08]almost nighttime. It's almost dusk. It's

[0:11]cloudy in the sky. Very dark.

[0:13]Very close to the ocean. A little sliver

[0:16]of a moon out today.

[0:20]Is it 7:20?

[0:21]It's beautiful out here.

[0:24]I just wanted to share it with you.

[0:26]What does that say? I can't do it

[0:28]without my glasses.

[0:29]What are you looking for? Sunset is

[0:32]7:00, but dusk is 30 minutes after that.

[0:34]That's why we got a little bit of time.

[0:37]There's the ocean.

[0:41]Oh, that is a beautiful mist coming in,

[0:43]but not too bad.

[0:47]Hey, let's go get the boat.

[0:49]I don't think I've ever seen

[0:52]what

[0:52]the horizon with that much. Like, is

[0:54]that fog or is that cloud? I don't

[0:56]actually know.

[0:57]It's both.

[0:59]It's sea mist and fog. I mean clouds.

[1:02]Yeah. See how high this is? We're not

[1:04]getting across the creek.

[1:05]Oh man, that's amazing.

[1:07]We got to go back this way. We can't get

[1:09]Holy [ __ ]

[1:13]This one's beautiful, honey. I'm so glad

[1:15]we out here tonight.

[1:18]There's the moon over here. Just a

[1:20]little bit of sliver of one.

[1:26]Sun is

[1:27]used to be over there.

[1:29]It's going to be down there by the

[1:31]winter comes in.

[1:33]It travels to gone.

[1:35]So, we have we have bears and we have

[1:38]What kind of cats are they?

[1:40]Mountain lions.

[1:41]Mountain lions who live in our forest.

[1:45]Okay. Well, I'm not worried about the

[1:48]foxes.

[1:50]Worried about

[1:51]We're going to walk back. It's going to

[1:53]be dark out. Brought

[1:55]brought

[1:56]me a flashlight, you know, so we can get

[1:58]back. I never I've been out at the beach

[2:00]at night, so I've been here. But I drove

[2:02]to a spot where I could just do that. I

[2:03]didn't hike out. We were like a mile

[2:06]out.

[2:07]So Wendy's a really good friend of mine.

[2:09]I've gotten to know her over the months.

[2:12]Um she's my hiking buddy, too. We do a

[2:14]lot of stuff together. And like I was

[2:16]saying, she's moving south for the

[2:18]winter, so we won't be around each other

[2:21]as much.

[2:23]No, he's going to have to come visit me

[2:24]down in Horsesville Beach.

[2:28]So,

[2:29]it's hot.

[2:31]Don't know how well this will sound cuz

[2:32]I know it's windy out. That could affect

[2:35]the audio, but I guess we'll find out.
