The Beach Pt 2

So we've had a very stressful angst filled week - I'll tell you about that another time.
In order to try to forget about things and chill out we decided to head to the beach yesterday. It made us realise why we're here and how easy it is to get to the beaches - we must do it more often.
For the time at the beach at least it was relaxing and fun and we forgot about our worries.

The two young guys pulled up in their speed boat, anchored got out and started playing ball. It wasn't for quite sometime that they realised there was no totty milling about - just kids and families :)

This was up near Brackley Beach on the North of the island, and a nice sand bar had appeared. In fact the whole area had many deep and shallow parts.

On this particular sand bar - which was pure sand - no stones - me and Hayden made a Bob Marley tribute....

Kath was quite impressed by Bob's massive heed!

It was lush - soooo hot out, and finally now the water is much warmer than last time we went - very warm in fact. I think we spent about 2 hours in the water and on the sand bar without ever feeling cold. Sometimes the water would wash through the channels with really warm water, and then you'd get cold spells washing through - quite bizarre.

This is the FIRST time Hayden has swam by himself (just arm bands) in the sea and we swan out very far and quite deep in parts - up to chest.

Having never been in the sea like this before, I think Hayden has a bit to learn still about waves... and the fact that you have to keep your head above them!!

We found another sand bar way out and rocked out on it. Hayden was actually standing on it, fighting against the current.

This is how far out we really were... and Kath took this from the first sand bar or Bob bar as it's now commonly known, which is even further from the shore.

All this at around 4-5pm - Lush!!
