Beach wreck

Fantastic day blog 2: after seeing the ponies up close, we crossed Highway 12 and took a walk on the beach. It was a beautiful morning with a clear blue sky and sunlight sparkling on the water like spilled diamonds.





We walked down to where an old shipwreck is visible. Not too long ago, much more of the wreck could be seen, but it has been covered by sand (and perhaps parts of it have washed away). Recently, part of it was uncovered again, possibly as a result of wind/rain/overwash from Hurricane Earl.





It probably won't be much longer until it washes back out to sea, based on how close it is to the water's edge at high tide now.







Elsewhere on the beach, we found a much more recent "shipwreck" artifact, this part of a (modern) boat.
