Tillamook Head from Seaside BeachAnother seaside day. 0 miles on route, though a few miles cycling in a big circle around Seaside. Another dip in a chilly sea. It's fascinating to see the mist coming in from the cold sea and evaporating over the hot land, where it eventually gathers into clouds a bit inland (or over Tillamook Head). The air has plenty of moisture, and the cold sea air meeting the hot inland seems to make for a fair bit of mist, which gathers over the mountains inland. The coast has a surprising lack of surfers, windsurfers, etc. I guess it's a bit cold for the average bod. The onshore winds are not a happy phenomenon for surfers, but where are the windsurfers? At work I suppose, or at the Gorge inland, where the thermal winds hurtle along a choppy river.
