Beach Time!

The weather cooperated and we decided to go to the beach.

After arriving at Pensacola Beach we drove over to Fort Pickens.  We decided to go for a walk at the Pensacola Pass part of the park.  The walk was great. Very clean sand with almost no trash at all. I was surprised. The waves were crashing in the pass because of the changing tide.

At times it seemed that the waves were crashing 3 directions in the same area.  Definitely not a place to be swimming.

I was able to get some pictures of a crane, sandpipers and seagulls.

A sailing ship was leaving port as we reached the pass. It would have been great if they had been able to raise sail for the exit to the Gulf but the tides and wind were not cooperating.
