Saving starfish
On almost every beach walk we find some starfish wrong side up. All those tiny white feet are clamoring to be facing the sand.
So Colin rescues them, one at a time.
With a flip of his toes they are returned to their happy place. You can barely see those tiny white feet settling back into the sand.
Then Colin carefully covers the starfish with sand.
Often the tide is still going out so the covering of sand gives them even more of a chance to survive. Colin saves between 3 to 10 starfish per walk, sometimes more.
I know I look like an old lady here but my 10 peso scarf sure helps keep my sunhat on during the windy walk back to our site. So glad I came up with the idea as holding the hat down with my hands became tiring very fast. We have had a lot of strong wind this last week especially just after noon.

Nice to save those starfish when you can, nice to tie your hat down, some of mine had tie downs that I wear on windy days.
I can’t be in the sun without a hat on so I had to come up with a solution.
Dog and starfish rescuers! All in a day’s walk. The scarf solution looks great…
Gracias. We don’t rescue snakes nor cockroaches.
I actually think it is more the Bo Peep look lol and who cares, a girl needs her hat. Happiness is no longer caring what others think of you or what you look like. We are starfish savers too although I tend to make hubby pack them back out into the water here as our sand bars are so long in some places
I like the Bo Peep idea. Sometimes we carry them into the water but if the tide is still going out it is better to cover them so they don’t get flipped again.
