What To Do: The Non-Windy Days in Jeri Part II

Answer: Build a massive Sandcastle.

The wind has still been nonexistant in Jeri and everyone has been getting anxious waiting and watching the water. It was alright to rest for one day, and nice to have time to bag some rays at Club Ventos, go surfing and read my book. But now the novel is done, the waves are small and I'm tried of just sitting at the beach in the hot sun with no wind to cool me down.

Many new activites have been popping up here and there to pass the time. One of them is beach volleyball. It started off small, usually only three teams of two were playing, but now word has spread and it's become a new hit. The competition has heated up and always draws in a small crowd. It's fun to watch and play, there is usually one team that dominates but everyone rotates through and get a chance to play no matter of their skill level. I put up a few new pictures including some of the volleyball action.

One can only play volleyball for so long, which resulted in a new idea brought to the beach by the Swedish guys: Lets build a massive sandcastle! Jen and I joined in the construction after a nice foundation had been laid. The castle was a 6'x6' square and built to be about 4'-5' tall. There were even trussels and a deep moat around the perimeter. The whole process was filmed with one of the boys' Go Pro camera, it took a picture every 5 seconds. You can find the video on facebook and watch as the tide quickly washes away our work.

Come back wind!
