This morning’s beach cleanup on Treasure Island was another successful outing. Our beaches are fairly clean, thanks in a large part to the flow of the gulf current, since it is picking up speed along our coast, it carries debris away.

When the current hits the Texas coastal bend it slows down and drops it all off. Which I experienced first hand when I lived along the Texas coast, it was great for beach combing but also rather depressing to see all the trash wash ashore.

Even with the assist from the water, I filled my bag twice this morning, mostly cigarette butts (and one used condom – blech). As always, I found a few treasures and this time I even made a little money (three whole pennies). The best part of the morning was just being on the beach, it was gorgeous!
