We had a big windstorm the other day. Even on our calm little bay, the waves were crashing right up to the sea wall.

The swim pontoon was pushed up onto the beach a good 100 yards from its normal mooring point. It’s covered in sand in the photo because… following the unfathomable logic of 12 year olds… a group of boys went out with shovels and put all that sand on it.

I went out metal detecting a couple of times right afterwards hoping the beach would be churned up and yield long lost treasures.

Nope.
