Ooooo--describe that water some more! Sounds wonderful. Thanks for telling us about these experiences. (That road you describe, with the 90 degree turn, sounds like one we used to travel going to a beach near my home on Puget Sound. Only if you missed the turn, you had sapplings and a railroad track before beach and water.)

I think we're all struggling with the "positive boyancy" issue these days. :)
