During the last el nine-yo!, my son then 4 and I were cruising the shores of H.b. We were a slight distance away and he yelled, dad I found a duck! Oh god, I'm thinkin he's holding a dead duck. But as I approached him, he had a piece of driftwood that was the exact size and shape of a duck! It's hung on our wall still and he is 7 now. Going up to Mendocino in Feb. Should be some good hunting by then. My cousin lives up there and found 4 giant redwoods at the bottom of the Russian river totally petrified! I wish I could load some pics of my Grandfathers Beachcombing days. You would all trip out. I think Sven is going to do a Beachcomber book and it'll have many pics in it. Fish float balls bigger than a hippity hop! Gone are the days.
