An unusually large concentration of driftwood today; the dried velella velella were in the drift line and higher on the beach; along with the usual crab, mussel and crab shell there were some small shells unusual to our mile; picking up debris on our walk back south, there was an abundance of plastic bottle caps sans bottles.
