Sand and Moses

For all you tourists considering coming out to the Bahamas, the weather hasn't been that hot for the past week. It has been coolish, and this morning I woke up to rain. Now mind you, I had the window open (something that you can't do this time of year back home) and the cool weather and the sound of raindrops falling reminded me of being in a lakeside cottage in the boreal forest in summertime.

The ocean has been roily and wavy again. In the picture above, a tourist was mugging for the camera held by his girlfriend, and I snapped a pic of him as well. Then I used the i-Warp facility in an image manipulation tool to make him look like Moses parting the sea.

To show you just how massively roily the ocean is, it moves yards and yards of sand overnight. In the picture below, the ocean covered the last three steps of the beach access point with a few feet of sand. The next day, the sand will by gone, and the bottom step will be waist-high.
With action like this, the beach is different every day.
