Monday morning at 5:00am, Hurricane Irma sent us a little gift. A tornado hit my nextdoor neighbor, knocking down about a dozen oak trees, ripped off a big sunroom and then pulled off most of his metal roof. She dropped half of the debris on his 3 vehicles and then threw the rest into my yard, knocking down 4 of my oaks in the process. We were trapped as the trees fell across my driveway and my yard making it impossible to escape. I was not pleased.
Yesterday I was able to have the trees cleared ($1800) and today the power came back on. I spent all of yesterday and most of today cleaning. I still have a 30'x65' section of his metal roof to contend with and I still have hundreds of limbs and untold numbers of leaves to clean up but this afternoon I decided I had had enough.
I wanted to go to the beach.
I packed up my Sovereign and Sand Shark and headed to Fernandina Beach. It was nearly high tide but I ventured out.
First I found a sea buoy. It was a !!!!! to dig....lol. Then I started gridding the beach. Dug what I thought was a ship spike but later Kapidr and I discussed it and once it was rinsed you can see it is a .50 caliber round. Another find appears to be part of another.
But the crowning find was a porthole. I had hoped for a ring or something similar but this is even better.
Irma, you're forgiven. Almost.
