Great pictures and videos! You must be really enjoying your location.
ReplyDeleteI am amazed at the Fort you found built in 1885. It looks to be in good condition and is named Thornton, like one of the teachers at Cape View. Interesting underwater video....and no sharks in that area? Good to know you have a riding buddy and a decent bike! Be safe out there. Love always, andee
