Green Flag Day





We finally got a couple green flag days at the beach. This means calm waters, no rip tides and a wonderful day of swimming!! It's like being at the pool with a few rolling waves! We could see our feet in neck deep water it was so clear! There were a few sea creatures to watch for: baby sharks feeding around us every so often, and yesterday there were a few sting rays around. Just enough to remind us that the ocean really doesn't belong to us! We just kept our eyes open and stayed away from them and we were fine. I did have a remora fish (or sucker fish) attach itself to my leg. I didn't like that too much. It reminded me of the leaches you watch out for in lakes/ponds in the midwest. After a few seconds of yelling for Lance to get it off, it transferred to Lance's leg. He wacked it in the head with the paddle he was using (we were playing paddle ball) and the fish finally left us alone. Otherwise, we've enjoyed a great weekend at the beach! I'd have to say that the green flag days are my favorite!!
