Day 21 Part II - What BYU-Idaho Marine Biology Field Experience Students do on a Saturday AFTER lunch

We made it back from South Cove in time to stow our gear, rinse our boots, and head to the Dining Hall for lunch.

After lunch a group of intrepid sand castle-builders headed off to Bastendorf Beach.  It was sunny, and windy and not what I'd call warm, but off they went.  About an hour later I went by to see what they were up to, and here's what I found...

According to Patrick, they were building a "man-castle" not a sand castle.  I have to agree that it was big.

 (L-R) Lindsey, Ty, Blake, Tony, Kristin, Patrick

And then...
The sea attacked.  Luckily the tide was going out so this didn't happen too often.  I did hear later that after some other members of the group showed up that it shifted from being a castle to a pyramid plus a couple of Sphinxes.  

I have to give it to Lindsey and Kristin for giving skim boarding a try.  Here's Lindsey...
Caught it...

Lost it...

And she's OK

Now Kristin's turn...

Started out all right...

Splash...

She came up smiling!

Now Tony's turn...
Nice release

Blake's yelling, no, feet front and back, not side-by-side :-)

The board stops, and he's off...at least he's still mostly dry.

Ty's up...
The mount...

The glide...

And a classy dismount.

And,now,  Blake, the master...

 Looking good...

 Um...
DOH!
