You really should treat yourselves to a visit sometime. The waters were uncharacteristically rough during this time, but it made for some natural drama. Usually, the waters are calm and inviting. I do suggest visiting off-season, though, as the prices are lower and the island is less crowded.<br />Love and blessings!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-84695557512071166932019-04-09T15:47:35.523-07:002019-04-09T15:47:35.523-07:00Isn't that driftwood absolutely awesome?

My heart goes out to you both for the solemn task that brought you there, but am glad for you that you were able to make the most of the time there and have a mini anniversary honeymoon. I would love to go back there some day. Maybe when it isn't so cold and windy. Thank you for sharing the beauty with us. The driftwood on the shore was magnificent.<br />Pamela M.
