Paulette and Leslie were out this morning. It was a nice morning, humidity was up, and we only hit a little sprinkle of rain coming back across the causeway.
It was high tide, a tough walk on the long end, no hard sand to walk one. The Full moon is tonight, and we have another King Tide from the 4th - 6th. The upper end is eroding, not a lot of beach at high tide. The wrack line is at the base of the dunes.
No nests, no crawls. All of our nests are fine. Here's a list of "Lots of"
- Sargasso, lots of balloon ribbon intertwined in this stuff
- Wrack - above Marker 5/6 there is a now a double line of wrack - makes walking tough
- Balloons and Balloon ribbon
- Trash - picked up only the large stuff, bottles, cans, bait containers, sun glasses - big bag of trash came home with me.
- Portuguese Man O' Wars - even more than what I saw on Wednesday, beware when picking up trash- the sail part may look like a plastic bag, especially when the sun shines on it. They are intermixed with both wrack lines, so they are not just located along the water line
