Church, the market, and chocolate all happened already…tired yet? I crammed a lot into this day! After stopping home for a quick change of clothing, I brought some frozen meals to my CO’s wife to give to our Ombudsman. An ombudsman is a point of contact for boat information. She has a lot of work with communicating with all of us. Anyway, Sept. 15th is Ombudsman appreciation day. She has an almost 6 month old she’s handling herself as well, so I hope the meals help.

Anyway, then I went off to sand island after dropping off the food (I’m on the other side of the island now). Sand Island is an industrial of all industrial areas… except there’s this huge state park at the end of it.

I figured for a Sunday it would be busy, but no, it was so quiet. A hidden gem, kind of? The waves were really big, there’s a break but it didn’t help much. The real reason I came was to check out the sea glass, which my friend clued me in on. It is a seaglass gold mine! In this picture I see at least six pieces (can you?)

I had my camera with me, though, and the waves were huge, so I had to weigh risk of grabbing sea glass and getting soaked. I didn’t have much time to spend here, though, because in short order I went and picked up a friend from the airport. I will certainly be back! Next time with a bathing suit and/or at low tide.
