The next morning, I left this open ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230479 and took in some salt water ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230480 but the outside view ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230481 drew me away from the art in the house ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230482 and Suzanne and I headed to the dock for the obligatory phone booth picture ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230483 and a visit to the local newspaper ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230484 before starting our walk past the neighbor's dog ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230485 and up the hill ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230486 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230487 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230488 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230489 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230490 to the multi-colored stop sign ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230491 as we turned and walked past the barrel cactus ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230492 to Pam's driveway (with for sale sign) ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230493 and saw her house from below ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230494 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230495 as we continued our walk towards Flamingo Bay ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230496 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230497 past the local recycling station ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230498 until we got to the beach at Flamingo ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230499 and Suzanne continued her quest for sea glass ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230500 as the water came in. ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230501 Walking further we came upon a rooster in the distance (not clear why the picture looks like the rooster was under water) ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230502 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230503 and made our way past Mermaid Manor ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230504 with beautiful flowers ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230505 before catching views of Pam's house on our way back ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230506 and continued our walk ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230507 as Suzanne made her way ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230508 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230509 until we were back at the house ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230510 watching the boats come in. ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230511 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230512

This was our first real day on the beach and we discovered the dock where Peter remained either before or after the lady from Oklahoma ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230513 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230514 as Suzanne and Seva explored the waters ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230515 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230516 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230517 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230518 before Seva saw Peter off for snorkeling ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230519 as Suzanne read ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230520 and Peter and Seva returned ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230521 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230522 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230523 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230524 as Peter ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230525 Steven ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230526 and Sara ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230527 watched as Heidi served ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230528 Suzanne and Seva prepared for sea glass exploration ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230529 and I read my book ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230530 as Peter did the snorkel thing ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230531 passing the dock on his way. ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230532 Seva and Suzanne wandered in search of sea glass ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230533 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230534 as the nuts appeared ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230535 and the girls in front of us took some photos ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230536 and the dock stood ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230537 as the obstruction moved ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230538 so that I could see the incoming dinghy ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230539 as Sara ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230540 and Steven ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230541 returned with this sandwich for me among other things ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230542 and I admired the sky ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230543 as Peter returned stopping for a chat ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230544 before making his way to our table ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230545 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230546 and eventually getting a drink ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230547 before good friend Stuart from the bushy eye brows club appeared to (I suppose) brighten our day. ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230548 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230549

As Suzanne and Seva continued the sea glass exploration ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230550 and Sara read her book, ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230551 we realized it was time to go home so that Suzanne ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230552 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230553 and I could wash our feet ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230554 and I could take this self portrait knowing that I would need the cure ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230555 and Suzanne and Seva made their way into the hot tub ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230556 as Peter tried to understand the controls (a feat we never fully achieved). ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230557 The boat with 50 couples prepared for evening ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230558 as I ventured to get a photo of the moon rising ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230559 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230560 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230561 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230562 ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230563 and then back to the boat ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230564 as we noted our pineapple rum (a life changing substance) ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230565 and Seva made her fashion statement by dressing in the most modern of fashion (later confirmed with Jane). ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230566

Thus we were all ready for dinner at Heidi's where this picture represents the effects of the rum we had had during pre-gaming ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230567 and the wine ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230568 didn't show until the lights were on ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230569 but Steven ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230570 Sara ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230571 Seva ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230572 Suzanne ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230573 Peter ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230574 and I ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230575 enjoyed our meals of fish ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230576 meat ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230577 and pasta ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230578 until the moon was fully risen ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230579 and the snorkelers of the next day finished their trial run. ../../../Sabbat/2009/01.08-15.09WaterIsland//P1230580
