Gabriel Goes to the Beach.

When I was growing up, my family took yearly trips to were to the beach with my extended family. I looked forward to sharing a giant beach house with a dozen aunts, uncles, siblings, parents, and grandparents. I looked forward to spending hours learning how to make friendship bracelets from my aunts. I looked forward to packing peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to take to the beach each morning. I looked forward to eating those tiny boxes of cereal for breakfast. II even looked forward to getting a pound of sand in my bathing suit from sitting at the edge of the shore.

The term marine supplies encompass all types of low price and fast and quality services related to the shipping industry, made available for shippers, boat owners and merchant shipping clients. The services are also available for private yachts. People, who engaged themselves in boating experience and sports, are expert in finding what they really wanted in certain water equipment. But not all can be expert in such things. There are marine enthusiasts who, basically in all probability, do not have that knowledge in looking for the best service and products. Since they are neophyte, they are still striving for information regarding the best marine supplies they can find in the nearest store located in their place. You can continue reading this article for more about the marine supply.

Marine supplies are often guided by marine supply sales representatives who work on behalf of a supply and support organization for ships. He is typically responsible for sale of boats and marine equipment and supplies like fixtures, pumps, instruments, cordage, paints and motor parts.

With a large number of marine suppliers appearing in the market and intensification of the competition, all the big names in this industry are working hard to make their services surface over the quality provided by other competitors.

While many boat owners are having economic difficulty along with the rest of the country, they still love the water. Finding a way to extend their boating season or increase their enjoyment while on their boats are things that they are always thinking about. With email newsletters, marine supply companies can give advice about maintaining boats during each season, ideas to increase performance, and other interesting articles that can grab their customers’ interest and bring them back into the store.

I still love the ocean.

I love the sound of the crashing waves. I love the heat that radiates from the clear skies. I love digging my feet into the sand while I read book after book at the beach. I love the expansiveness. I love how life is slower and days are longer and there is nothing my to do list but reading and relaxing.

I spent a semester in Hawaii my sophomore year of college (rough life, right?). I worked at an ice cream shop on Waikiki Beach and during my breaks, I’d go to the pier and lie down on the wooden planks, soaking up the sounds of the crashing waves. The ocean soothes me.

Except when there’s a baby at the beach. (And also, baby aside? I am becoming my father because I JUST CAN’T STAND THE SAND. It’s EVERYWHERE.)

It was a lot of fun, but certainly not quite relaxing: sand-coated baby crawling around on the beach trying to eat seashells. He had a love-hate relationship with the ocean, as well.

I contemplated writing a post about how to go to the beach with a baby or a post about cloth diapering on vacation (including cloth swim diapers). But in the end, I decided to go with the photos. Because, really, don’t you love being forced to look at someone else’s vacation photos?
