Silver Sands Beach

Hi Mates!
I never grow tired of exploring the beaches here-each and everyone of them is beautiful. I spent 5 hours today on Seaview Beach. I was mostly watching the wind surfers and the ones with the kites. There was one guy who was a real hotdog-he flipped and flew and was having such a grand time. I laughed out loud just watching him. I also met a gentleman with his 2 grandsons out looking for worms and other bait. We combed the beach together and they showed me the best places to find sand crabs. I grew tired of walking-the wind was brisk today and so I sat down for a rest. A rogue wave got me. Once again I am thankful for the quick dry canoe pants I purchased at Black Water Design. I walked to Brighton Jetty and before I reached it I was dry! The boys helped me find pieces of natural sponge and of course a few new shells will be added to my collection. I have a new quest-to find a shark's tooth for Brendan. Not sure how that will pan out buddy, but I will do my best. Well today I am wind burned and beat-too tired to even download my pics-see what you will have to look forward to?
G'day eh!
Bern

PS I am going in to school tomorrow to get my new class ready for my new students! It IS the most wonderful time of the year!

    Sounds beautiful Bern! I'm looking forward to the pictures. I have shark's teeth from Florida - fossilized ones, in a bottle. I would be happy to donate one to the cause!

    Breathtaking! And all within a 15 minute bike ride eh? Is that sea mist behind an oh-so-healthy looking woman at a kangaroo crossing? An Australia Day/Week celebration begins this Sunday in Vancouver - lots of Aussie food & wine. Quince & lamb were mentioned on good ole CBC today. Have you given them a go, Bern?
    Love,
    Ann
