Today I awoke around the same time and settled into my usual routine of getting ready and then heading upstairs to have coffee with Kurt and Mary. We discussed what we anted to do today and looked out and noticed that there were still white caps on the water,therefore the seas were still too rough for our whale shark expedition. Oh well, one of these days we'll get out there. After an entertaining morning with Kurt and Kristyna's "discussion" on making pancakes, which invoked both parties getting marked with markers, I conducted a solo Order of Morning Prayer (short form).
Then I had an absolutely delicious breakfast of pancakes and we then discussed what we would do that day. Kurt suggested we head to the Torri Station beach and catch it while it was still at low tide in order to metal detect. So around noon time, we headed out to the beach to begin our extremely fun afternoon. A bit of World War II trivia, this was the beach where the U.S troops landed unopposed on Okinawa during the Battle for Okinawa. Today this beach is very calm and peaceful, compared to the devastation of the battle which will be 69 years ago on April 1st.
The low tide was perfect for our metal detecting adventures. We discovered many interesting things, most of it junk, but we did find a small piece of copper, which later broke in two, but we believe it to be a part of copper jacket plating of a round. We found mostly bent nails, rebar pieces, lead fishing weights and bolts. Then after our metal detecting adventures, we hung out with the family and Kurt's friend Pat and his family on the beach. We stayed at the beach for about 5 hours before we headed back home. I took a nice warm shower to clean off, then I had a yummy quesadilla for dinner. I am currently relaxing and probably will head to bed sometime within the next hour or two.
