I had gotten almost all the way back when all of a sudden the clouds cleared and the sun started to shine. So I unpacked the camera put on the bigger zoom and took a few more shots.
The clouds were very dark and the weather was ominous but occasionally there times when it lightened up a bit.
The wind was blowing pretty hard and the clouds were pretty dark and the surf was kicking up. I was determined to get a few shots before it poured or I got struck by lightning.
