Back to the Island & a Family Reunion

Last week we returned to Amelia Island, FL for a week of sunning, swimming, surfing, kayaking and surf fishing. Amelia Island is the place we spent five months last year. We were joined by my son from Missouri and Terri's brother from Colorado. This year we stayed at Oceans of Amelia Condos and had a direct ocean front room with a gorgeous view of the uncrowded beach. Hurricane Igor, some 400 miles off the coast still kicked up some powerful surf for a few days.




Our surf fishing landed us bluefish, whiting, pompano and stingray. Our surfing attempts were not very successful but a lot of fun. A nice man who owns a beach house a few doors down loaned me one of his surf kayaks and it was a blast.




We enjoyed blackened mahi mahi sandwiches and live music at The Surf beach restaurant one evening. We visited Shuckers to try their raw oysters and fried pickles as well.




It was a great time at one of our favorite Florida beaches.
