As per usual I checked the "on line" weather report this AM before my morning walk on the beach.
Current 17 Knot winds out of the W/SW, 52F temp and rain were enough to put a damper on my morning, but I know that sometimes the reports are wrong and/or things can change fairly quickly along the shore.
After my morning coffee and C. roll I donned foul weather gear and started my walk into an E/SE wind (?) at about 20Knots and a light drizzle!
Since I hadn't been able to walk the Western end of "my beach" yesterday I started out in that direction this AM.
The snow is nearly all gone after the overnight rain and warmer temps. exposing lots of trash for removal.
At the extreme west end of the beach I discovered that someone had removed the lobster pot I wrote about in a past post.
There was no sign that it had ever been there and at first I thought it was buried, but there hadn't been enough sand movement to cover it.
One of life's mysteries!
I decided to make a complete job of it and covered the entire beach picking up several pieces of aluminum cans and bottles along with the usual mono-line and plastic trash.
Near the eastern end of my beach combing the wind stopped for a short time and started blowing from the W/SW!!
Only a few hours off, otherwise not a bad forecast!
I found a syringe with a needle (covered) sitting high up on the wet sand where the waves had tossed it.
It's disturbing to say the least to find these things out there, but at least I can properly dispose of them.
By the time I got back to my van almost three hours had passed and I was starting to get damp from the rain and fog that was getting heavier.
The swells were still a little too rough for water hunting, but I will keep monitoring conditions while these temps are not severe just in case opportunity presents itself.
Thanks for reading!
Best to You All,
