Astra and her friends like to sit at "the gay beach," specifically at a spot they designate as being close to "The Tranny Fortress" (which is the "rainbow-fenced" area you see to the left in this photo).
We returned from a swim to find we'd gotten a new neighbor, who from our vantage point, seemed to be completely naked. Leigh tiptoed in for a closer look.
In a crazy-ass coincidence, later that afternoon Colin and Heather showed up! They parked their set up a good 25 yards from us (so they could cannoodle in peace).
Meredith, being of the fair-skinned persuation, lotioned up with full-on sunblock (including a little dollop for where her hair parts so that her scalp wouldn't burn).
A few minutes later, Colin realized he'd missed one of his quarter-hourly sunblock applications and we had to evacuate the beach before he spontaneously combusted. Um, either that or it was just getting late - I forget which.
Grant reading. Oh, and see those sunglasses he's wearing (which were borrowed from Tara)? Say goodbye to them, because it's the last time you'll ever see 'em! Shortly after this pic was taken, Grant accidentally threw the frisbee into the water and when he went in to retrieve it, he got utterly clobbered by a giant wave....and he lost both the frisbee and the glasses for good. Nice going....JERK!
Update 12/3/2002: This is a new picture - Grant kept bugging me to replace the picture that made him look like he had a "fat back" with the above pic that makes him look "buff."
With summer on it's way out Grant, Emily, Fatty and myself decided to ignore the day's forcast for rain and head back to Ft. Tilden for a little deserted beach action. (By the way - take a moment to appreciate just how great the picture above is).
Ah, good ol' Ft. Tilden, our top secret beach spot that we discovered last year. Look how clean and empty this place is. When you're out there, it's almost impossible to believe that you're less than 10 miles from Manhattan.
Immediately afterwards, Grant decided to run into the water to "take a swim" (a.k.a - hide the big, beach boner he popped in his tight, little Euro-swimtrunks he got from STARING at Sarah's titties.)
Late Saturday evening, two of Grant's friends, James & Charlene, arrived from London. They hadn't seen the sun in months, so on Sunday morning, we got up bright and early and headed right back to the beach!
