Still at Sebastian Inlet State Park

Yesterday we watched the waverunners playing off our beach. Today we spent a couple of hours on the beach. About the only thing exciting was the surfers. The waves were pretty high.

Sebastian Inlet State Park

Yesterday we moved down the road about 1.5 miles to Sebastian Inlet State Park. The sign said FULL CAMPGROUND but they happened to have one campsite left. We took that and drove on to the city of Sebastian to the Wal-Mart for our staples. It is about 3 miles away as the crow flies, but 30 miles round trip by the nearest bridge. I think you folks back in Ohio have sent us your weather. The high yesterday was 62 and very strong winds. It did get to 70 today, but with the wind blowing hard still had sweatshirt on all day. Went to the beach today and was ready to head back because of the wind, when the Kiteboarders showed up. They gave us quite a show, and Barb took a lot of pictures. As we were leaving the beach to walk back to our campsite we seen the Kiteboarders truck which was labeled with this website if you are interested in Kiteboarding.

Still at Long Point park

We just love it so here at Long Point park, that we are having a hard time leaving. We are finally leaving this park tomorrow, Tuesday. Yesterday we drove down the road to Pelican Island National Wildlife Reserve. This was the very first wildlife reserve opened in 1903. We did see a few species, but evidently most of the birds have migrated north. It turned cloudy yesterday and then quite a bit cooler last night. It was all the way down to 60 when we woke up. It did get up to 72 today. Today we walked back to Scout Island to take more pictures of dolphins and hermit crabs, and what ever else we could find.
