Me & Delaney on the beach (I'm the fat one with the cigar).

Note that the sand is a little "browner" than typical in FL. It has been dredged from a mile out and deposited on the beach for some reason.

Hey, my mom lives close to Melbourne... Micco.

I've never been to Florida. When I want to see my mom, I send her a plane ticket. Usually with a return flight in about 7 days. That's all I can handle.

Micco is a cool area. I did alot of fishing in Micco (Sebastian).

You ought to go check it out. Its not Disney.

looks like fun!

Hope you guys are enjoying yourself.

WOW, what a cutie (the little girl running, that is)LOL!

have not been there since I was stationed in GA.

I left Melbourne, Florida back in Jan 2004. The sand was brought to the beach because of how much sand was lost with the last couple of hurricanes. It was really bad after that last hurricane hit the Melbourne area.

In talking with a bunch of the locals (I grew up in Melbourne, so I speak their language), it seems that the beach was almost back to normal 3-4 weeks after the last storm. The beach embellishment is being driven by freaked out Yankees worried about their beachfront property.

Who knows for sure. There is definitely a locals vs newcomers thing going on down there.

I lived right on the beach in Oceanside Ca. The city one year trucked in truck after truck bottom dumps untill my lower half of my condo no longer had a view. That winter a really bad storm came and with in 2 days all the sand was gone. I went out on the beach and there was like a 10 foot drop off. That was a waste of money. Mans atempt at mother nature. After that I never buy a place right on the sand like that.

Used to vacation from MI in the mid 80's.. primarily

for the Bluefish runs in the Sebastian inlet.. MAN that

was some crazy action when they were in!! pound per pound those suckers really fight.. Anyone know if they

still get the Bluefish runs there in the Spring?

cayman

Yeah.... the blues still run. Not as much as they used to.....too much brown sand.

Fat? It just looks to me like you've got Dunlap Disease.

Great pic.

Yep....dunlapped over my waistband.

Can you still smoke cigars on that beach?

Must be nice...
