What's Washed up Lately?
Posted: Tue Oct 07, 2008 10:46 amAfter the big onslaught of so much that washed up on the beaches here, we had a relatively calm period for a week or so. Then the wind direction changed again, and for the past few days, we're seeing stuff washing up again. Not the furniture and showers (yes, almost an enitre shower washed up with the first stuff) but mainly garbage now. I think we're getting the stuff that were in the dumpsters or garbage bags now - lots of empty plastic bottles, etc.
But yesterday morning - here's what washed up:
That's the view as I walked up to it today - unfortunately very hazy out this morning and the sun would peek out and almost blind me and the camera, etc - but yep, a boat washed up - here's a closer view:
We can't tell if there's a big hole in the bottom, but we do believe so - as if you look in it now, you just see lots of sand in the center. Probably lost part of the bottom in it's travels.
They've been doing a great job of keeping the beaches clean, but it's almost impossible to have nothing, cuz with this wind direction some stuff comes up with every high tide:
And just little garbage:
Peaches has decided she even likes the waves - as long as they aren't too big. She now jumps them. But she just as much enjoys sniffing out whatever comes ashore. I can't take a pic of her jumping the waves, maybe one day when someone is out walking with us. But here she is posing for me:
Poor little girl has fun in the water, then we walk back and I hose her down to get rid of the sand and salt. She's so good about it. Except when I try to hose her face - at that point she lets me know she's had enough.

Hope you don't get the oil that they are saying was spilled. That really makes a mess on a beach.
