Beach Day

Beach day….. if there is one thing that you can always do while living on an island is to hang out at the beach.

My friends and I took advantage of a great sunny Sunday and decided to ride our bicycles to the beach in Bodden Town, we were able to cast our fishing lines in a ludicrous attempt to catch fish. which by the way was an epic failure, but while that was going on we decided to boogie board the waves were perfect – Boogie Board is similar to surfing but instead of standing you lay flat on your stomach. The larger the wave is, the farther you'll be able to ride it.
People of all ages can ride a boogie boards. Just don't go out in 5 feet waves if this is you're first time, and you should always check the weather forecast before getting into the water. which I didn’t do, since we were staying relativity close to the shore. It is also recommended that you use a boogie board with a strap. Just in case you fall off, the board will be there for you to get another wave without having to chase it down, as the board is a flotation aid which is always helpful to have near.
Always pay attention to warning signs on the beach. They may indicate hazards such as rocks, reefs, strong currents, old jetty remains or jellyfish.

We spent the entire day on the beach and boy was I hungry I didn’t realize how hungry and water logged I was until I got home, but all in all it was a day well spent.
