Eva’s Byte #521 – Getting to the Point
That would be Sabin Point, my stomping ground to forage for sea glass.
With the weather springing forward, and a neap tide, where the ocean level has a smaller than average range during the first and third-quarter phases of the moon—a foraging I will go!
As Sabin Point is part of a shipping channel used by vessels sailing to and from the Port of Providence, just 1,000 feet away from the Point, it’s a lucrative site for coming across pieces of broken glass that have washed ashore.
Tumbled smooth along their seafaring journey, the pieces I retrieved have been added to my growing collection of cherished treasures filling clear glass vases.
That day, along the narrow shoreline, the “point” itself offered wide berth for spelunking. There was hardly a breeze stirring. The ocean resembled a calm lake. The perfect launch for foraging season!
In the capacity of a writer, I’m getting to the point journeying along the draft of chapter 14 (676 words thus far) in my Contemporary work in progress.
*May each of us get to the point in life where we want to be.
My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.

Eva’s Byte #545 – The Find
I’ve devoted previous blogs to my hobby of foraging for sea glass at Sabin Point, a beach in Riverside, Rhode Island, whose ocean waters are part Narragansett Bay’s shipping lane. A regularly used navigable route for large vessels, I did espy a tugboat towing a barge during my most recent trip.
Scheduling my visit during the incoming low tide at 10:45 a.m. EDST, the waves had a kick on the downside of high surf from Hurricanes Humberto and Imelda.
Crediting the surge for a plethora of treasures I collected, my most notable find was a clear-colored vintage stopper. Its origin is either a perfume bottle, or 1930s medicine vial.
Opaque from seafaring, the spherical top is intact, but pitted; the plug itself has a small piece broken off, although smooth from the erosion process. I have placed this treasure on my desk alongside other unique glass finds.
In the capacity of a writer coasting along the draft of my Contemporary work in progress, I finished chapter 23 (1327 words). Blurring the lines of demarcation between fact and fiction, I’ve conducted research to lay the foundation of chapter 24.
*May each of us appreciate the beauty in imperfections.
