Wassaw

Last weekend we took another boat trip on our friends' boat.  It has been extremely hot here but being in the water and on the beach was quite pleasant.  We anchored at Wassaw Island where we did some swimming and beach combing.
 
On the boat, Wassaw is behind us.
 
The science girls (Lauren, Coral, & I) went beach combing while the guys (Matthew & Matt) relaxed.  Here we found a really neat tide pool on a dead tree.  Wassaw had a "boneyard" beach that is littered with dead trees.
 
These little zebra periwinkles are all over the trees.
 
Along with lots of barnacles.
 
The old weathered wood makes for great photos.
 
Here's a cute little crab that we found along the way.
 
And we saw some white pelicans near another island on our way back to the dock.  These birds are not that common around us so it was nice to see.  I didn't bring my zoom lens, of course, so I didn't get good photos but it was neat anyways!
