Last night was a haze

On the second story of CEDO there is a beautiful deck that overlooks the ocean. Sleeping on the deck is almost mandatory if you want the best experience possible. At night, alongside the sound of waves crashing, you can see the stars filling the night sky. However, some nights are better than others for this. On Tuesday, after a full day of activities and dinner, we came back to CEDO to tuck in for the night. Unlike the night before, this night felt different somehow. The deck was soaked though no rain had fell, the telephone pole in front of CEDO sparked, and the winds howled. Determined to sleep outside a few students braved the damp completely un-bothered but there was no mistaking the evidence. Around 1AM a heavy fog rolled in cutting visibility to near zero. The stars were completely blanketed, the moisture high, and our sleeping bags became pools of water. The next morning you could see what remained of the fog as it hovered just over the ocean creating an impenetrable wall. After that night most of the sleeping bags and their occupants remained indoors while CEDO’s deck remained clear.
