Wednesday was Day 2 at the GINS. We went on Tuesday, it was 53, windy, and well, we weren’t there all that long. Today it was 65, windy, and we were there a lot longer
The GINS is a little further east from the area at Navarre Beach that we usually go to. Most of it apparently just reopened after the Hurricane Ivan and Katrina. And there really was noooooone there.
Water was cold, but, not too cold. Shells were plentiful, but, not as plentiful as maybe we thought they would be. The beach was beautiful, and I think we’ll drive the extra 10 minutes to get down into the GINS in the future.
Anyway, on to the pictures:
Looking South from the chair
in the waves Part 1
in the waves Part 2
Matthew pre-wave; someone(?) mid-wave
maybe it was Christopher mid-wave; here’s post-wave
On to the beach for some sand-fun
eating sand wasn’t part of the plan
the water wasn’t warm; I was impressed that they were in it that quickly…and, in this case, dumping it over his head.
it was windy….both Matthew and Kevin spent some time using towels as capes/kites
15 mph from the south-southwest
Christopher wanted nothing to do with the towels, instead, was sand and buckets
most of these shots were Matthew and Kevin getting ready to run away from Christopher, who had sand and water in his bucket
Christopher did find a small tiny crab at one point
