Mile 306 Report
May 20, 2017
Report Details
Human Activities
Unusually calm ocean, almost no waves. Watched a small sport fishing boat with 2 people on-board, approach Castle Rock (offshore about 1 mile to the NW). Disturbed 20 pelicans which flew off the rock. The boat proceeded to the west side of the rock, where it stayed in the backwash for about 10 minutes. We've never seen any boats that close before; it looked like a dangerous maneuver.I didn't see the birds return.

Mile 306
We walked the mile on a clear, chilly afternoon. We picked up trash--one full bag. We found a little eel, the same color as brown rockweed! We saw sea foam blowing on the sand. We found a small skull bone. We found a scientific measuring device planted in the cobble with a float saying that it was the property of OSU.

These observations were made over the last 3 months walking the beach at different times of day but not keeping a record which I will try to start.
