Carefree highway let me slip away on you




Dustin is visiting for a couple of weeks helping out with tandems at Quest. In between weekends, we're at the beach enjoying the scenery and working on my long punchlist. Dustin spent the whole day installing my baseboard....what a sweetie he is.

I'm learning about red tide the last few days. Red tide is caused by an organism brought by certain winds and Gulf Stream currents. The organism produces a toxin that can kill fish and in extreme cases, turns the water red. Apparently this is somewhat common in Florida in October and November - we should have stayed a bit longer in Ecuador. The beach smells nasty and with the doors open working on the baseboard all day, we were hacking and sneezing away. I hope it doesn't stick around too much longer. Either way, I still love it here ;-)

He he he, at least, red tides doesn't affect surfers as seen in the pics ;-)

Suggestion: don't complain about red tides, they are just stinky. You should try a jellyfish tide, like those in the Mediterranean sea. It's so nice to jump into the water and hit a big transparent umbrella you didn´t see before...

Impressive day fall ;-)
