Mile 103 - Bullards Beach just north of the Lighthouse - September 26, 2016

Report Details

Heading north at 6:45 a.m. and 52 degrees with a mild north wind at mid-tide, we saw no one but encountered 4 men rock-hunting and one dog on the way back. Just gulls otherwise. Driftline was littered with tiny crabs, also Dungeness crab molts, seagrass, kelp, shell fragments, small rocks. No dead critters. Not much litter apart from plastic sheets and a new crab cage with rope and float attached. It was gone on my return. Summer winds and blowing sand have covered much of the driftwood, but they haven't eased the approximate 8-foot drop-offs on the beach access points.

Rock hunters delight in this otherwise boring stretch of beach; 3 were mining away in a big bed of small stones despite heavy fog and their 4 at-large dogs.
