Green Flags


Every day has been a green flag day here this week at Zipolite. Those who know this beach will appreciate what a big deal that is. The beach has never been better. Low tide is a wide shiny expanse of sand. People can walk way out there and still be only up to their waists. The waves are tranquil with only the occasional heavy boomer to send the boogie board zooming off to shore in a hurry. It's like Santa himself arranged perfect conditions for the Christmas rush.




There are still a few hazards. Our keen eyed lifeguard stopped to bury an ugly dead fish with no eyes so no one would step on a spiked fin. A neighbor from San Francisco stepped on a stingray. It couldn't have been the same type that finished off that Australian guy because her bandage was off the very next day.

Lots of pictures and less talk.
