A Lot Going on at the Beach


Today Gordy & I, along with Betty, checked out another condo as a possibility for us for next year's stay. It was beautiful so we have some decisions to make.  We are definitely coming back to Surf Club!!

John, Terry, Mike, Chuck, Mary, and Gordy took off for 18 holes of golf.  I have heard that the team of John, Terry & Mike were the winners but they all had a lot of fun.


 The rest of us went for a walk on the beach and it was truly unbelievable!  Hundreds and hundreds of sea stars all over the beach, along with hundreds of crabs, and other sea life.  We met up with a lady who was
from Florida, and she said she had never seen anything like it.  She also informed us that sea stars are not enviromentally friendly, because they eat on the coral.  A fact that we did not know about these pretty creatures.

Sting ray- I had never seen one of these on our beach before.





Our personal favorite!


Another form of sea star.


We couldn't believe the color of this one.




No, we're not in Arizona.


Looks like its the path to heaven, right?  Well, almost.  The beach and ocean are near perfect!

After our walk on the beach, we enjoyed a few hours at the pool.  The weather was wonderful.



After the pool, and when the golfers got home, Terry, Chuck, Laurie, and I continued our tennis competition.  Today's score--Laurie & I won the first set 6-1.  The 2nd set was much closer- we had to stop at 5-5 - Deuce.  To be continued tomorrow.  The guys actually think they're going to win---we'll see!!


For dinner, Mike grilled us melt-in-your-mouth steaks.  Along with Betty's baked potatoes, and a salad, it was a very good meal.

The weather promises to be equally beautiful tomorrow!
