| A storm a-piers to be brewing. |
Waves are expected to surpass 10 feet this afternoon. Even now, winds average 50 km/h, with gusts double that.
As it was only two hours from Philadelphia – and home to Dogfish Head brewery – we decided to head back to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware yesterday.
A beer, and the sea: bliss.
Pots of palm fronds have blown over, however, and the red ‘No Swimming' flag cracks a loud warning from the lifeguard station. The pole bends like an inflatable tube man outside a used car lot.
And Hurricane Dorian is only as far as North Carolina.
I love the sea and, even with the storm, feel incredibly at peace as the sand shaves my legs. I lose myself in the churn and never want to escape its grasp.
As tempting as it is to stay to watch the fringe of Dorian, though, we’ve caught the tailwind out of town, winding along the Susquehanna river, and into the sunshine.
We’ve pulled up into Williamsport, Pennsylvania – home to the Little League World Series – which is alive with music and art on the street.
And no hurricanes in sight.
