Beachcombing is one of those things that I can do obsessively for hours on end. The prospect that I can find more or that there is something better out there for me to find allows me to continue on despite fatigue or the boredom that might come with doing the same thing repetitively. The reason we are beachcombing is we are looking for japanese glass fishing floats.
These floats would have been separated from their nets and sent adrift in the Pacific to hopefully find their way to our beaches. So far no luck, but we are instead making an effort to collect the multitude of plastic bottles and plastics that litter the beach. Who knows, maybe good karma will pay out. Either way I know this, we will find something. At the very least, there is a ton of debris heading our way as a result of the tsunamis that have recently occured in Asia. Exciting prospects!
Great stuff! I love beachcombing too. Always something interesting out there. http://issuu.com/beachchairscientist/docs/beachcombingadventures_beachchairscientist
