SPINDRIFT

Fine spray and foam swept by the wind from crests of the waves or the resulting foamy streaks lying in the direction of the wind.

Spindrift Point, though a part of Muir Beach, has a remoteness much its own.  This is especially true on nights when the horns blow mournfully from Point Bonita and fingers of fog drift in from Duxbury Reef to the Golden Gate and blanket out the rest of the community.  It’s a solitary place in a southeast storm when the sea thunders directly below and winds up to ninety miles an hour toss huge balls of sea-frit up and over the Point from the bottoms of windward cliffs. Partly because of its remoteness the Point has much spirit of place.  And living far out on a finger of earth surrounded by the sea on three sides one’s lines of communication go out to the natural life.  ~Charles Borden
