Report Details
All in all, the mile appears similar except for some erosion of the north end of the clif where the initials were carved in last summer. They are almost gone. The High winds and storms of mid November appear to have removed a good deal of sand from the north end of the mile. There was no visible life on the lower 25 cm of the rocks. It will be interesting to see what gives in another three months.
