Bad Day at the Beach

Yes it is possible to have a bad day at the beach.
My neighbour Nic and I decided to go for a coastline run to get the after work kinks out.
Start at Al Jeer beach that starts in nice packed sand and then changes to rock.

Bouncing along and then crunch.


Time to change the wheel.

Then off to Hulaya Island beach were I was several weeks ago, "crowded" with people and fun to run along the tide line.


Then stop and dig clams for dinner.


However, the summer heat has since dried out the sand and it has the consistency of sugar in places.


Nic tries to call the auto club but .... so we dig for a couple of hours.
Finally the civil patrol arrives and with a mighty yank we are free.
Return home with sand swirling inside and outside the Jeep.
Grumpf.

You forgot your beach umbrella. Hope you had a cooler in the car.
Is that one of those rental cars I am not going to buy if I come to the UAE??
