Calm sunny day. Lots of people (30) walking and playing in the sand out for Memorial Day weekend. One flag football game and one family picnic. Beaches were clean with shells, sand shrimp and some crab molt. Not much in the way of physical changes other than Johnson Creek outlet at the beach moved about 100 yards north relative to a year ago. Found two invertebrates that I had not seen before. They were about 10 and 6 inches long and were Polychaete (paddle-footed) worms.
