Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Sunday, August 13, was Sandcastle Day at Smelt Bay on Cortes Island. There were about 20 entries, made by sculptors whose ages ranged anywhere from 18 months to 81 years. Some of participants live on Cortes, but others are visitors from as far away as Campbell River, Victoria, Vancouver, Langley, Quebec City or even England.
It was a hot, but very windy day and you can hear the breeze pushing against my mic throughout the broadcast.

Three of the entries were actually castles, ranging from fairly basic to highly sculptured designs.
