Nate finds yet another Glass Float on the Beach!

We were on the beach north of 15th street enjoying all of the exposed bedrock and the display of agates and colorful rocks –

When we looked up to see Nathan and the pooch running towards these rocks.  Very odd behavior. 

– Nate – “ I saw something rolling in the surf, it was small and green. There was a guy walking away from it – and I thought he might have been a float fairy who placed the float there.  The closer I got – the larger the float became.  Then I thought it was another bouncy ball, since we have found three of them. When I realized it was glass I was so excited I almost swam out to get it, but thought you would get mad, it came to shore and I got it before the guy in the brown coat could get to it.”

I was trying to have a peaceful agate walk without the camera – so we had to walk back to 15th to take a pic.  Nate was between 26th and 35th when he found it. (NorthWest)

Beautiful evening – Hour past Low tide – Sun starting to set.

Nate wanted to do a re-enactment of finding it, but didn’t want to put it in the surf in case it got swept away . . . He was in the large rolling waves when he found it, this is south of the tide pools past 15th.

The glass float is green, with a molded edge, lots of air bubbles and slight frosting.  It has quite a bit of muscles growing in the bump in the bottom.  We will clean it up and look for markings.

The  glass float measures at 92 cm circumference around the molding line.

37 “ Float

    I know what you mean about the house, from the flood, and then the beach walks each day – yesterday we were out from 7am – 7pm, and then today we had a Sport Shooting event to be at by 8 – We came home at noon with only a small path to walk through and working the burgers on the porch as there were no clean counters in the house. .. . . . But an hour and a half later – we are ship shape once again. Off to the Beach!
