Jumping In!

This past week has been an exciting one, as my dear friends have been at Race Point! Playing with them always involves lets of swimming, singing, hiking, giggling and snacking! But the best thing that happened was finding the perfect high tide jumping in spot along Straight Bay.... Everyday as we began nearing high tide we'd say, "Oup! It's time to go, get ready, put your shoes on, let's go!" And we'd hike along the old woods trail, past The Old Elm and on to Little Birch Point. This point overlooks the entirety of Straight Bay, at high tide it's full of water, right up to the big boulder rocks... and at low tide it's like a seaweed heaven, stretching on and on and on.

At high tide mid-week we were ready to go in the water, but it was so cold! And the air was a bit chilly too! As we tried to find the most wonderful of spa treatments to "break the ice" so to speak we found a new little rock emerging from the water. Although it wasn't such a little rock, it was actually a great big rock, a 6-7 foot drop, perfect for a little skim dive into the bay! And we did! And it was WONDERFUL. And you could climb right back up on that sweet rock and not have to wear water shoes and jump in again! HURRAH! So over and over again everyday we made our pilgrimage to the best swimming spot at Race Point, Mother's Nest Cove.
