Tony - I love the drawings! Very Hedley-Beachcomber-chic! I like how you've painted your lobster floats. That makes them look much cooler.

C - port hole???? that's TOO cool. I think I would jump for joy if I found something like that on the beach.

I got 3 pictures of recent trips that included a wee bit o' beach walking.

The Lost Coast, CA:

One of the most spectacular coastal areas I have ever been to (I do say that a lot, but I mean it everytime!). The beach at times is strewn with redwood drift wood and the redwoods come right down the cliff to the beach. We decided to do about a 5 mile day hike down the black sand beach starting at Shelter Cove. There were a few people at the trail head on the beach, but once we left that area we didn't see a soul. We had the entire beach to ourselves sharing only with sea lions and ospreys. I'm definitely coming back to backpack along the coast here.

Here we are walking the sand:

And hey! it's not so big, but I found a plastic Japanese fishing float. I'm sure there would be more during the winter months:

Gloucster, MA:

East Coast lobster float. Check out the low tide! I never checked a tide calendar, but that's a pretty big difference between high and low tide!
