How could I possibly resist taking the camera down onto the promenade.
I waited for high tide before taking my daily walk.
Yes it was windy and it made walking and keeping the camera dry, very difficult but the results were well worth it.
I started with Eric and he is looking as shiny as ever.
I considered going up onto the Yacht Club platform but common sense prevailed.
I have never seen it this rough but I have only been here for a decade.
We are well out of the way stood next to Eric and several other people had the same idea of taking photos from here.
The promenade was taking a pounding to the East
and the boats were being thrown around
It was just as wild round the back of the band arena
I didn't go all the way round as the waves were fairly crashing over.
I retraced my steps and approached across the old band arena, that was a real struggle walking into the wind there
The Hovercraft station's seaward wall was being properly tested. The waves kept setting off the alarm.
Despite the flood boards being in place, there were the usual idiots who are immune to waves and wind. Made for a dramatic picture though.
The Stone Jetty Café was taking a bit of a pounding too
all in all a very enjoyable walk indeed.

I had been telling my hubby about the time I was in Morecombe when the Moby Dick and Hotel was hit by lightening and burnt down. My parents, sister and myself had just come off the Moby Dick when lightening stuck
