Temperature: 60 F. Wind Velocity: Moderate. Wind Direction: W.

Number of people: 8. Kayaking: 4. Other Activities: Diving - two small boats, one motorized para-sail.. The concerns that I had were: 1. The motorized para-sailor disturbing nesting birds 2. There was a ladder on the south side of the cape about a third the way up from the water. It was near a ledge that usually is packed with nesting murres; none are nesting there now. I did not see anyone using this, but it looked new, and since it's left secured, probably is used multiple times.

Apparent violations: The para-sailor skimmed along the cliffs on the south side, which is where the common murres are nesting. This happened on 5/26 on which I also paddled..

Disturbances: Disturbance of nesting seabirds

I saw more pigeon guillemots than ever before. I also saw 2 sea lions, numerous nesting common murres, numerous cormorants, though less than in the past, and a couple of immature bald eagles. There were no brown pelicans, perhaps it's still early, normally I see at least a couple dozen. There were numerous gulls, as usual and in their usual spots. I saw a half dozen harbor seals, two new born with mom in Wells Cove. Numerous ochre sea stars, though no other variety and healthy populations of goose-neck barnacles mussels, and chitons.

Styrofoam, Ocean-based debris (from fishing boats, ship trash, etc.).

I reported the ladder near the tip of the cape to a park ranger who told me to contact Oregon Fish and Wildlife about the mororized para-sailor, which I did.  I don't know what action will be taken.Four of us packed our kayaks with trash from a shallow cave's beack.  We got perhaps a quarter of the trash, which was nearly all fishing foam floats.
