He wrote that he woke up Sunday morning and found he could walk, although "...we'd left it all on the beach yesterday."
I discovered the same thing. Slowly. But I could walk. So, I did.
Timothy and Mark had been at work for hours, and were close to being done by the time I arrived. I set up and got to work. Before he left, Timothy shot a round of video for his Instagram at goblikitepe.
No fancy base work this time. I was pretty much out of it, so did the basic basal clean-up and called it finished.
It takes some experience with new sand to find out what can be done with it.I was a little more familiar on this day, so pushed harder... and it didn't fall over. I haven't done any monolithic sculptures in coarse sand since 1995, and my skills have improved since then. In 1995 this wouldn't have been possible.
I was exhausted on all levels. Sand sculpture takes everything, mental, physical and emotional. I was pleased with our efforts and how the people on the beach encouraged us. A good day.
