First, we walked in awe past the great variety on the clothing optional beach, on towards the amazing parasailing/surfing club and onwards still to the fence that divides the public island from the airport. It was pretty neat to be that close to the departing Dash 8s!!!
We watched for a bit, and took some photos; then we went for the "option" (wink wink), swimming in the cool lake to get some relief from the heat. As we were plane watching, we were blessed with a Cessna. And not just any Cessna, but the 150 that had so recently carried me bravely through my PPL test. Wow! Neat!!
We waved like mad, jumping up and down in the water and on the beach as GFDH did circuits, but whether the poor folks inside saw us, who knows, tee hee.
| After that, we walked back to the "clothing must be worn beyond this point" sign, obliged, then got on our bikes and rode over to Wards to meet a friend for dinner and sit out the storm. (The latter resulted in soggy fries, watered-down beer, and moist burger, as my dinner date noted.) On the ferry ride home, we were blessed with a double rainbow. What a lovely way to celebrate a miraculous event! |
