    Rare Air Episode 46

    December 30, 2021 - By 

    It is wonderful to report that today is an excellent day for us. We’re together in Cherry Grove, a run of built-out South Carolina coastline where we have gathered for the past several years – minus 2020, when we had to stay home. For our youngsters and the rest of us, it’s been great to ease back onto memory lane at the beach, especially with warmer temperatures enticing us outdoors. This year’s locale has us further north, and in our beach walks, the nature sanctuary of Cherry Grove Point beckons.

    If I had ever experienced a close encounter with a squid before July 9, 2017, I don’t remember it. And on the other hand, the visitation recorded in the video featured here is something I will probably never forget. On this trip, I had a new underwater housing for my Sony DSC-RX100 camera, and I didn’t yet have much experience attempting to frame subjects with it. That’s one factor; another is the ocean’s current. I suppose I probably was also at least a little taken aback by the steady gaze of 20 creatures who seemed quite interested in watching me.

    So far in life, we have only visited Saint John one time – it was our “vacation of vacations” last June, as you can read in other entries I’ve shared in the past. When I tell you that Beth and I are set to return this July, you probably won’t be very surprised. I don’t know how often we’ll make it there, but I’ve been pining away for the next trip since we booked it earlier this year.
