Long Beach

I forgot just how beautiful it is out here. We have spent two days in a row playing in the waves on Long Beach. We all have wetsuits of some kind so we can be in the water for a while at a time. It has been exhilarating. The sun has been out every day so far. The water sparkles and the waves build and roll on in. 
Our boogie boards are starting to fail. One bent in half and another is splitting its cover around the bottom. This surf is the test of boogie board hardiness. We brought our kayak along but no helmet to use with it which just makes it too hazardous to use in the surf where there is so much tumbling and tipping. 
Also we got really cold from being in the water and tried getting getting covered in sand to warm up and regain use of extremities. 
And just for good measure, here is the yellowest banana slug I have seen.

    1. She did get a little sunburnt but not so bad as the picture suggests. I think it was just the way the colour was on the picture.
