Very little trash on the beach today. I've never seen large barnacle shells like I saw today or the clumps of shellfish in the wrack line.

Beautiful day! Sunny blue skies, calm winds and warm (Tee Shirt weather) People and dogs enjoying the day with the weather about as good as it gets here. Beaches looked clean and in good shape. It doesn't get much better than this.

Odd large pieces of trash near Battle Rock. Lots of bottle caps in wrack line. Many small pieces of plastic in the wrack line near Hubbard Creek. I remember my mom showing me an aluminum railing from a shipwreck sticking out of the rocks on this beach years ago when the sand was low.
