This and That

1/22 -1/25 - We are definitely in relax mode right now. As the heading says, we’ve been doing a little of this and a little of that. We spent another day over at the Grand Isle Resort where we had another fabulous lunch and took advantage of the pool and hot tub. As 5:00 approached they came around and invited us to happy hour and appetizers – all free. We chatted with the manager awhile. He was from Colorado, but has been transplanted here the past 7 years.

On another day, we all went out kayaking. We each have our single inflatable kayaks and Michael and Jana have a double inflatable. We paddled out into the Sound. We’ve never kayaked in the ocean before, so the swells were a new experience for us. Forgot my camera though, so no pictures. Linda has taken to walking the beach each day looking for sea glass and sea beans. She even got Gerry to go with her one morning. We continue to do a few boat chores, read, chat with our neighbors on the dock and just happily pass the time away.

Sea Treasures -- first sea bean and lots of seaglass

This is the seawall/breakwater heading into the marina
Lots of coreloc - date of May 03 scratched on them

Approaching the beach

A shot looking out at the point.  The other day we
kayaked there -- wouldn't catch us doing that today

Poor Betty Cay - we also kayaked around this cay

Don't fall

We watched a sailboat going out the channel -- it did not look fun

Waves hitting the rocks -- you can see the spray in the picture
(I got wet)

I think this is the same type of bird I
photographed the other day -- but older
(Editor's Note:  Our friend Sterling, the eco expert,
tells us this is a night heron)

A short clip of the sailboat heading into the Sound.  I was narrating, but you can't hear anything because of the wind
