Dylan's new beach 'ride'

Dylan checks out a small low-tide cave......

It's still blowing here.  We ended up moving over closer to shore to the 'twin beach' area.  It was a very nice spot with better protection.  We did our regular school morning and then headed over to anchor there.  There was only one other boat anchored but, by the end, there were 8-10 boats anchored.  Connor and I hiked to the other side of the island by ourselves.  This is the Exuma Sound side which is very exposed and rough.  There were rock faces to climb up and paths that were very close to the crashing waves.   They sad thing about these beaches is there are lots of floating debris such as bottles, shoes, and various other light plastics that end up there.  We searched again for sea beans.  We found only two in the beach where we landed and thought, for sure, there would be some on the rough side.  The only thing we found were roll-on balls (another strange thing beach combers collect) and a Christmas ornament. One thing that we figured out is Dylan loves the tube on the beach.  This is great for walking with him as we do beach walks.  He was very comfortable.  We checked out some low-tide caves a well - he loved that!
