St George Island Week 2

The night before New Years Eve was "practice night" at Paddy's. There had to be over 200 people in a place that seats maybe 80. New Year's Eve will undoubtedly top that.


St. George Island stretches out toward the east for about 8 km's beyond the park campground. There used to be a road for hikers and bikes going all the way to the end but Hurricane Michael tore that up and covered a lot of it with sand, so that area is now closed. The beach however, is not closed. I had been wanting to ride to the end since we got here. Yesterday I did it, a 16 km round trip, all on the beach, it was magical. 
Here's a short video. Best viewed in Big Screen, (button bottom right).

A short walk takes you to the bay side of the island. Here you can find oysters clinging to just about any structure, even old tree trunks. So with  the help of my Swiss Army knife, we had lunch. Ahhh, livin' off the land. Next time we'll remember to bring the hot sauce.

Photo bombed on NYE. This was our NYE selfie.
In retaliation for my bombing her NYE selfie, she returned the favour. Don't know who she is but she is pretty good at it. It was a great party, Paddy's of course.
