Wearing my winter jacket I trudged down the wharf. On the beach kids were squealing as they played at the water's edge.

And in the harbor were two people standing on surf boards oaring through the water. Sitting in front of each was a large dog.

I was concerned for the dogs. it didn't look very secure. They were too far from shore to swim to the beach. I watched and nothing happened in spite of my worrying.

The kids kept playing and I got back into my car to warm up.
