Yesterday the wind was still blowing hard and so we took a walk on Royal Island.  Our intention was to follow the road down the centre of the island to a second set of ruins, but it was a pleasant day and in the end we walked three miles to the end of the island.

The remains of one aborted development.  I wonder if anyone bought lot TB13?

Lots of Gulf Fritillary butterflies everywhere, despite the wind

Andrea found another treasure on the beach but I wouldn’t let her keep it.  Some kind of fish trap washed ashore?
