Full moon about to set behind this house on the morning of Monday, October 10

Followed by the sunrise

Monday was our usual routine: chores in the morning and a trip to downtown in the afternoon to run some errands and have a late lunch in restaurant.

The black sand beach was covered in debris from the storm. Here is a before and after.

We haven’t mentioned this, but there is lots of debris floating around the harbor, too. We were pretty frustrated with ourselves when we realized that the very first building to the south of the marina had an auto parts store that sold oil (in the building pictured above).
