Treasure hunting!... not exactly panning for gold. But the sun came out! Now it's time to clean up our beaches from all that the storm left behind. Plastic of all sorts is the main trash item amongst the tonnage of sea grasses and coral that were uprooted by the churning waters. But thanks to Bob's metal detector, there were coins for the collecting, too. (You can order your own detector at good-deal prices from the Amazon.com link to the top-right!) Beach-goers wanted to have some detector fun, too. We offered to let them try it out, but they said they had to have their own. Especially fascinating was how many dimes were in the sand offshore. We're not sure why.
We survived the deluge and our campers are on the beach and doing what they came here to do. 
Hurray! In the photo on the left, the birds have even joined in. Ahhhh....the Florida Keys at their best.
Bob had been trying his best to get me to take up the fine art of snorkeling. He'd say, "You have to see the coral beds..." Well, sadly, today quite a bit of coral washed up from the storm and is bleaching in the sun. I picked some pieces out of the smelly sea weed piles and made my own coral viewing area...and I didn't even have to deal with a mask filling up with water to view it. >> sputter<< >>sputter<< Below are my films of an "undersea adventure" on Loggerhead Beach, Bahia Honda.
