Woke up at sunrise to another clear day with the tide WAY out. Decided to check out the college scores and found out it was the begining of the second half with the Cougs having a chance to win their opener for the first time in 6 years.
Had breakfast outside, finished the game, GO COUGS, and then decided to try to find out what all the locals were doing out in the surf. So I suited up and thought it might be wise to wear my tennis shoes out on the way to the breakers.
Wading through the sea grass I spotted a few sea urchins (spoiler alert) and was careful not to hurt any of them. 15 minutes later I'm nearing the breakers and the incoming tide tips me over into a bed of sea urchins with their needle sharp spines. Both hands and knees and even my tiny belly accepted the prods. The sea turned red and I was looking for shark fins.
Obviously I made it back into shore, smashing every urchin I saw, but there were and are still some burrowing into my fingers and knees.
The computer Pam made me buy so I wouldn't use hers is not working, so no pictures until I figure that out. (In case anyone is tuned in)!!
I'll try to post this and some pictures later.
Hope all is well back home and in the HEAT!!
Oh no! That sounds terrible!! Text a pic!
