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."
