Sunday, May 2nd

 Second day, beautiful, quiet, but  uneventful day.  

We did find a knobbed whelk egg  mass string which was in great shape.  Picture below.  This string produces dozens of disk-like shaped capsules where tiny hatchling whelks emerge.  This string had holes in the discs indicating they had emerged.

I also attached a picture of different knobbed shells they could be when matured.
