low tide excursion

The lowest tide of the spring comes this weekend: -2.7 feet today, -3.0 feet tomorrow. Amazing varieties of marine life on display, from sea stars (more than a foot across) to anemones, clustered on decaying wooden pilings. Some crabs, lots of snails. A moon snail the size of a baseball (photo to come).

We’ll be heading out again tomorrow: simply amazing and totally free. The water must be pretty clean to support so much sea life so close to urbanization.
