It was a cold coastal day but there were still a few Oregonions out enjoying the shore. It was a bit scary to watch the young boys playing in dangerous surf. Uploaded a pic of some debris with Salishan's name on it.

This was a very busy day at the beach side of our mile! Boiler Bay did not have any on-the-ground visitors at the time of this survey.
