Frederick Douglass Beach Friday.

Yesterday I asked for readers to send beach photos and I got some for you today.  A. C. sent photos of Walton Rocks and Frederick Douglass beaches.

Frederick Douglass looks very much like it did the last time I was there.  It looks; like the front slope is still steep and probably still mush.

No erosion at Walton Rocks either.  You can see the seaweed, which indicates light materials, including sand, washing up.

You can also see the water got pretty high, but you can also see that the waves were hitting the beach straight on, which was predicted.   I've explained the importance of wave angles before.

Joe D. sent photos of the beach south of Melbourne.  You can see the sand piled up at the top of the beach.  You can also see were some sand has been removed lower, but there are no cuts.

So you can now go from Miami to Orlando by Brightline train.  Takes about 3.5 hours.  

See Brightline opens $6 billion line to Orlando, expands U.S. rail market (msn.com)  

There are no stations between Boca and Orlando International Airport.  I dont' know if Orlando is still called McCoy or not.  I remember when you could walk into that little old airport building.  Same for Fort Lauderdale and West Palm.

Train travel was great in Europe.  Seemed like you could go almost anywhere, and it was pleasant.  I don't think it will work that well in Florida.

I've been watching Gold Rush: Mine Rescue.  In the future, I'll be talking about some things you can learn from that show.  For example, sampling, which is an important topic for beach metal detecting.

Tropical Storm Ophelia made landfall in North Carolina.

Looks like we have one more system in the Atlantic to watch.

Here is a reminder to protect your skin for sun damage.  The effects might not show up until your later years, as was my case, but it can be life threatening.

Good hunting,
