I hear tell that I am simply called "the runner."
Mine is you get dropped off by a boat on a remote island and I have too
little time to cover as much beach as I want to so I turn on the momentum to
get to those areas I want to search.
Of course the collecting seems to invariably get really good just when the
time is half gone and I have to turn for the run back to the meet the boat
at the appointed time. It does create a lot of discarded shells to lighten
the load on the way back as I find more stuff.

Sounds just perfect! I look forward to hearing what else you found at
Lighthouse that was really cool.
