It seems like just yesterday we were walking on the beach in bathing suits and shorts. It was! Then a norte came in. It arrived at about the same time a really high tide was happening. The log in the top picture is actually about 15 feet long and weighs about a ton. It has been on the beach to the west of us about six houses for a year. A few of us discussed the possibility of dragging it to the house, but before that could happen, Public Works started a beach rebuilding project
and the log was buried under 3 feet of sand and packed down by a big loader. Eventually it emerged after all the winter storms and a few weeks ago Mother Nature deposited it in front of our neighbors house nest door. We watched it roll around and almost get washed out to sea during this latest norte. Nobody felt like going outside in our Cat .5 hurricane (winds were 40 mph) so the log is still in front of Linda's house with a ton of seaweed and all the junk which comes in with it. Usually we get the junk on the beach prize! This all happened yesterday. Today it is absolutely beautiful out and the shape of the beach has changed once again!
