Skies have turned grey
 for the Sunshine State

Today there was a little more churn in the sea compared to yesterday.

A bit cooler as well, 60s F high teens C.

Too flimsy to be a catchers mask,
any ideas ?

Lee and I went to the beach access next to the Crown Plaza Hotel, Indialantic.

Rope collected: 13 ft.

New total : 1086 ft or 362 yds, heading for touchdown number 4.

No shortage of litter up in the dunes, tangled in the dry seaweed.   

Only a month and a half until sea turtle nesting season.
Turtles need clean beaches for their
important mission.
Come on down,
we'd love to have you join us for
a Beach Hug for turtles.


Thanks for visiting,
arrivederci,

t-shirt.  This morning began with 46F, 8C and rose to 70F, 20C. We took the Beach Hugger pooch for a walk before heading to Canova Beach in Indialantic for a cleanup.

Dogs are not allowed on the beach here in Brevard, although lots of people bring them anyway.  The Beach Hugger hound has been to the beach but no more.  She hates getting her feet wet when it rains but she'll go running out into the surf with reckless abandon. It makes mom nervous, besides - sweet as she is, she doesn't always get along with other beloved pooches.

We met up with Jim. Two days per week his office is Canova Beach.  He discovered a huge bowline from some big ship.  There was about 25 ft of it, it must have weighed over 200 lbs.  I'm glad that mess is no longer a potential entanglement hazard.

My aunt Fanny it's pure!

It was low tide and there was not a lot of litter to be found but we collected plenty of straws and plastic bags along with bottle caps and a few unusual items.  Most of the time we collect a least 10 lbs a trip.
Today between us we probably only collected around 4-5 lbs.
When the seas turns rough again we will have an abundance of trash at our feet.

We did find one measly foot of rope. Bringing the total to 1051 ft or 350.33 yds.

Thanks for visiting,  come do a county wide Beach Hug with me during the last week of March.
