Wayne, thanks for the link, and it's a recent story, to boot.

I had no idea of the depth of the sea glass hobby. The science and
historical research was very interesting; we think we found one of those
grey things on our last outing, nothing like any we'd seen before; if so,
it's over 100 years old!

So, now Lydia is vindicated, and I might even have a bit more enthusiasm for
the effort - that is, if I can avoid going aground :{))

"Believe me, my young friend, there is *nothing*-absolutely nothing-half so
much worth doing as simply messing, messing-about-in-boats; messing about in
boats-or *with* boats.
In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's
the charm of it.
Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your
destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get
anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in
particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and
you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not."

What is 'sea glass' and 'sea crockery'? Garbage in the sea a long time?
