Then we met two ladies who suggested the most “awesome experience” was to climb the small platform over the ocean and high-five the gliders. 

We made our way over to the area and two of our group climbed the platform and waited. The gliders were off to the south and didn’t appear to be coming back. They relinquished their post. We watched a little longer and the gliders appeared to be coming back north.
