    I obey the rules, but seriously, walking in the fresh air is good for you. If you keep your distance from others this is perhaps the safest outdoor activity there is. In my opinion only, of course.

    Perhaps my favorite beach, White Bay on Jost Van Dijk in the British Virgin Islands.

    This is where the Soggy Dollar bar is located, and they invented the Painkiller beverage so necessary for living on the beach.



    The bar is named after the islanders favorite payment method. Wet dollars from your bathing trunks.

    Here is the recipe:

    The Soggy Dollar’s Famous Painkiller


    • 1 oz orange juice
    • 1 oz coconut cream
    • 4 oz pineapple juice
    • 2 oz dark blended rum, preferably high-proof
    • Grated nutmeg
    Mix all liquid ingredients in a shaker over ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a cup of a crushed ice. Top with an additional rum float if you so desire and garnish with a generous amount of freshly grated nutmeg.

    sand, water, humans, the smell of dead fish? beach + party? sorry i don't get it.

    mostly i guess i just don't get "party". its kind of a great mystery to me,
    i see these half naked people, which is, i think the idea is to get wet,
    but they don't seem to be doing anything that i can understand the gratification they claim to be finding in doing it.

    now maybe a driftwood barbieque, some of those fish, or even hamburgers, or some kind of buffette,
    i don't know, i don't really understand what mundane people get together to enjoy.

    now if it were a beach on a truly alien world with strange friendly unfamilar creatures?
    maybe a little further back from high tide, where you could actually build something that wouldn't get washed away.
    something small and odd though, not anything so completely out of place as large or rectangular.

    renfairs i could dig because inspite of the historical restoration aspect there was also creativity, in costuming, artifacts, food, everything.
    i can get doing nothing. i can get being with people if that's what you want. but being with people to do nothing?
    isn't that kind of self defeating both ways?

    meow. cat want fish where not going to get stepped on. cats don't surf. vollyball isn't a thing for us either, unless we can be ontop of a ledge and knock things off.
    a kind of inverted volly ball might work for cats, where opposing teams sit on opposite shelfs, whith i kind of valley instead of a net, and bounce the ball down into it to the other side.
    that wouldn't work reall good on sand though.

    some cats do like to fish, but usually when humans not looking.
    and then where the tangle of vegitation comes right down to the water's edge, none of this mucking about on sand.

    carving castles into the rocks facing the tide, with little of no of the sand in between.
    its the mind you see. nothing to stimulate it is nothing to gratify, well mine anyway.

    i remember seeing something on youtube or animal planet or google arth, no ida as to linx, but i remember there was a whole interest, for the brief while humans have in anything, where pigs swam and humans would sometimes swim with them. must av been maybe five years ago or more, some people were making a big deal about that.

    How could you not get it?

    The rush you get with each rising and lowering tide, the feel of the sand beneath your feet, the smell of the sea (which btw is dimethyl sulfide, it's produced by bacteria that eats phytoplankton). collecting shells, water worn rocks, encountering strange skeletal remains of deep sea creatures that are at first, not so easily recognizable, building sand castles, getting buried in the sand, clambakes, swimming in saltwater which you'll soon discover is more buoyant than freshwater, coupled with the constant danger of riptides, certain species of jellyfish, and the threat of sharks
