I'm surprised more didn't fall victim to heat stroke!<br /><br />Were those chairs stored in huts at the beach or did you bring your own? They don't look very portable, but they also look like they might blow away, left unattended in a big gust of wind.<br /><br />Love the bathing costume shot - a nice selection of diverse body-types - none of your bikinid-bare bottomed-thonged babes in those days, eh?

Lovely.
