There is a lot of foot traffic around my house because boats are used to go anywhere and I'm right by where the boats come in. This is pretty much the view from my front door. Mangroves protect the coast, except in several places where they have been cut away to allow boats in. The slope to the sea is gentle. You can wade out a hundred+ feet in waist deep water, all on sand. Thu, Aug 10 First day in the garden. We bagged charcoal and planted some bananas. ...
