Just back from a nice walk along the coast, and had dinner in a restaurant near the sea. it has been a dry crisp day, needed a coat and scarf but none the less a good day. How many of you like to shoot off down to the coast and say dang all and just go.

rode there yesterday with the wife on my motorcycle.
 
About once a year we'll make an overnight trip when the fog sets in here at home. It's not so much that we care anything about the coast as it is about getting out of the crappy weather in the valley and seeing the sun again. :D
This year there hasn't been enough moisture for fog so we're staying home.
 
The Pacific is only a few miles away so I end up there regularly. I go by the Puget Sound nearly daily, it is of course salt water and connected to the ocean. But a couple times a year I will go up to one of the unpopulated beaches and take a walk along the ocean. I find it a great place to ponder life's twists and turns.

There is a town on the north end of the Oregon coast named Seaside. I thought maybe you had been there. I avoid that place if I can. It is a tourist trap.
 
Seaside.... Oregon is what got my attention also, it may be a commute for you Chrisy, but may want to go. :lol: I make it to the coast at least once a month, but to Astoria, Oregon for some of the top fish and chips I have ever had. The "Bowpicker" in Astoria, not a fine dining place, but can't beat the fish and chips, Albacore Tuna and a good price! You'll have to google the Bowpicker to see what I mean about not being a fine dining place :lol: ...... My kind of place!

Don't bytch about moisture. I'd take it right now in whatever form it wanted to come in.
 
When I was a kid we went to Disney land in CA and went to the beach.
Sure wasn't like what I saw on TV, I was sure disappointed
I'd rather be out fixing fence in 20 degrees, sleet pellets and a stiff 40mph north wind anyway

Come and get it - we have had snow since November and it is deep - cows cannot walk through it

I see the ocean every day, In the winter it's cold,windy and rainy, In the summer it's cold,windy and foggy.

All the ocean does is cause rust and ruin...

Only dumb people live near the ocean...

And only the dumbist of the dumb try to raise cattle and try to put up hay near the ocean :yuck:

We lived in Otis (Lincoln City) for almost two years, while it was fun we were ready to leave. No real summer weather, as you said you always get wind and rain or wind and fog. A few days of calm and sun, but they are few and fair between. I do imagine haying to be a real challenge.
 
I stay about 350 miles from the nearest coast so only see the sea about 5/6 times a year, that's enough for me. We usually go to the more secluded beaches, I don't like crowds much....

Alan 'Fish and Chips" do you mean real chips like these

or crisps? and not those horrid french fries like you get in McDonalds.

nothing better than to eat fish and chips with your fingers out of paper on the promenade in the summer.

our local seaside is only 30 mins drive from home.
 
ps Alan looked up Bowpicker and looks a great place, wish I could visit one day. not sure about Tuna though, a nice piece of Cod or Skate for me.
 
Chrisy, they are a "French fry" but more like a steak fry, a bigger cut of the potato, thicker fry. One of the top three place I have had fish and chips, the other two was in Victoria, BC. BTW, I'm under the impression in England French fries are called chips .. :oops: or we Americans call chips French fries.

Here's the fish and chips I'm referring to, most of the fish for fish and chips here are made with either cod or halibut, but these are from albacore tuna..... Very good.

Just noticed the pic only shows the fish, the chips are under the fish. Oh well.
 
Surprised no one has mentioned poutine.

Been lots of pretty successful ranches right on the water along the gulf coast. Powderhorn, O'Conner, White Ranches have been around for about 100 yrs.

I looked that one up thanks for sharing this how we have fish and chips, but I don't have malt vinegar I have non brewed as I hate malt.
