Comments and Feedback
I had my regular mesh bag full of the smaller things i sorted in the backyard, but while doing so a neighbor came over to chat my up, and I forgot to snap pictures of all the debris before loading it all into a trash bag. Also had an interesting encounter with a rather large white fish of which I have never seen before. Pretty much a stare down of sorts, but as it kept coming closer within a meter) the large spines on its back and the idea that is may have been defending its area let me to turn around and go~
Summer season is upon us. Alot of people camping in the area today, and the shoreline is already beginning to get covered with camper trash. It wont be long before I an picking that mess off of the ocean bottom.
