Where did the sand go?

For those of you in the know, where did the sand get taken away to during Ivan and Arlene? Is it just offshore waiting for the tide to slowly bring it back ashore over time? Or is it gone for good and we have to wait for the lengthy process of sand reaccumulating from rivers, etc.? :confused: :confused:

:lolabove: Last year I was so sad to leave Grayton that I refused to vacuum out the car for weeks because it reminded me of the beach :floor:

Yep. A nut. :lol:

The sand sticks around better than Velcro. Some say that once you live here, you never get the sand out of your shoes. I think this statement is as literal as it is figurative.

Nothing quite like taking a nice 3 mile walk on the beach, and halfway, you get sand in your shorts. Long walk home. Kinda makes you walk funny

That is why I wouldn't want to live in the back of WaterColor or Seacrest. I notice most beachgoers in WaterColor ride their rented bicycles in a funny way. I guess it is the sand in the shorts.

That's why I know it's funny to watch. We are not in the back of Seacrest but far enough to have first hand experience.

It is kinda fun to sit on the deck in the late afternoon and watch the beachgoers return.:laughing1

It sounds as though you may be getting some sand in your own bed fairly soon. Good for you. Hope you have a splendid time.

Am I old enough for this thread? :)

I've never had a problem going back to the condo or hotel after a day on the beach. How do people get so much sand in their shorts, and ultimately in their bed? ;)

You have to be real careful, it takes a special kind of person to do it.:D
