Now N Then

Derelict by the bridge

Sand Castles  in the sand

A long day. Took John and Nancy and their daughter Barbara down 30A to Seaside. Wandered and then had lunch at Bud and Allys. Then drove through Watercolor and got back around 4 PM. Left at 5 PM for Friday Fest, a once a month downtown Panama City Festival (old cars, food, vendors and music). Went to St Andrews for dinner at Captain’s Table and then to the Granite Cafe for Green Beer except I opted for regular and Betty had wine. Got home at 10 PM.

Seaside

The Gulf of Mexico was rough

Do not know what this is or was. It was hard rubber, a cylinder, hollow, heavy and big with barnacles on the inside and outside.

Someone before us had made these sand chairs and couches. Complete with cup holders

Old washed up horseshoe crab shell

Base Helicopter overhead

Sand Dollar. Not as many as years past. At least so far.

The Tyndall NCO Beach is miles and miles of great big wide beach with nothing on it except sand, shells and other stuff that washes up. It is called the NCO beach because the entrance to it is a half mile boardwalk that starts near what was once the NCO club. Above is the boardwalk.

Above is the beach looking East to South East. We walked about an hour in this direction and then back.
