Chayim Zvi was so happy to be near the sea
He was even happier to be wet!
Akiva also couldn't resist
Where's the wave?
I want more!
These were beautiful to see - like a flock of birds circling.
But what do you call this sport? Surf gliding? Parasurfing?
It was really something. I wish I could have gotten closer.
Notice the guy is almost off the water

The Navy/Clandestine Aliyah Museum. Wait. The next shot is better
You can also see the Bahai Cemetery. Note the line of palms - not native.

From the ground
It was nice
The remains of the Dakar submarine. Lost at sea in 1968 with all hands, for years its fate was unknown. Found and recovered in 1999.
The emblem of the submarines in the Israeli Navy on the Dakar.
Inside the shell of the superstructure (is that the right term?)
Inside - well outside - the museum
The screw of the INS Eilat.
On the top deck of the Af Al Pi Chen ("Even So"), a clandestine immigration ship. Formerly this ship served during WWII and landed tanks on Normandy Beach on D-Day.
Here we are - legally!

Flying kites on the Bat Galim boardwalk. Chayim Zvi was a natural.
Shira Rina had a harder time, but she also succeeded.
Akiva and Moriyah were a good team.
Just hangin' out. He's really flying a kite. :)
At first, Moriyah was afraid the kites would go in the water.
Outside a restaurant in Bat Galim
On the train home. Doritos!
