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.

You're Not From Around Here Are You?

KEEPING BREVARD BEACHES CLEAN

FOR
LOVE OF PEOPLE AND ANIMALS

Today was the sort of day we could have used a crowd of 'Beach Huggers'. Rough seas brought  lots of big chunks of plastic onto the beach and spread it everywhere.

 We were met by a cool breeze at the Fifth Avenue boardwalk in Indialantic this morning. 70 F, 20 C.  Lee and I collected trash for about 45 minutes and filled 4 tote bags.

Throughout the mess we discovered 38 ft. of rope.  New total: 900 ft. or 300 yds. Wow! That is exactly three American football fields since I began recording my rope one month ago.

Just needs a little TLC
Now if only I could find the other one.....

We had to mind
what we reached for.
These highly poisonous Man O' War
were all over.

Sometimes the best solution is in
removing  the pacifier.
