June 29 - After Tropical Storm Debby

Debby beat us up for about a week and today we found out just how bad.  The photos below are our favorite beach on Anna Maria Island. The beach with it's snow white powdery sand is gone. Also there were over a hundred Loggerhead turtle nests on the beaches, most of them were washed away. The experts are saying hundreds of thousands of cubic yards of sand was washed back into the gulf.



It will probably be many years before the beaches are what they once were
but life goes on, the sailors are still here and the dolphins and we will be here as much as possible.

September 2 - Dolphins

There were dolphins feeding at the beach today, two pair of them. About all you can see are their backs and dorsal fins and occasionally a tail. The fourth photo is a Magnificent Frigatebird, they have a wingspan of almost eight feet.
