home improvements on the beach

So maybe we only had to move to the summer timetable to get the weather. A hot sunny morning and afternoon on the beach. In fact we basked in glorious sunshine looking over at the rain in the general Swords area.

With the sun you forget just how long you can chew the cud for without actually meaning to forget to get wet.

Si took an extended session with paddles and rescues while the lads started on the new struts. The first two are now up and are way beyond our expectations with surf ski and boards now being stored in a more secure fashion. Peter and Mark did their standard Laurel and Hardy impressions much to the amusement of both our gang and the general public. Lifeguard torpedo buoys, Rescue tubes and cans are in their new home - altogether a better arrangement but one that will be tweaked over the coming days.

Fingal coco dropped in and we passed congratulations on the very hard work they are putting into the beach this year - no question they are staying one ahead of the vandals and litterers - a great job

Putting the boats in we are slowly coming to the realisation that Michael's marine ply board will become a ramp. Perhaps he wont notice the tyre tracks on it.

Perhaps ;-)
