Notable Wildlife

I did not spy any dead animals. There were a lot of turkey vultures. Fewer gulls than usual. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Dead Fish or Invertebrates

Still lots of by-the-wind sailors all over the wrackline.

Wrackline Content

Small rocks, Shells, Animal casings or molts, Wood pieces, Marine debris. More small plastics on my mile than normal: plastic bottle lids, spent gun casings and the like. Filled a small plastic bag of trash.

Man-made Modifications

Biggest concern this visit was the camp.
