We headed back out to the trestle today to continue, we had more volunteers for sampling and it rained
lightly. We get to start an hour later
every day due to the tides and that is nice since the first day we met at 7:30 am.
We get chased off the bay by the incoming tidy everyday and it comes in fast.
Tryig to learn my lesson from alomst losing my boot I brought thigh
high waders that were on the boot rackat Shannon Point. One foot still got wet but I wasn’t
sure if it was a leak or because a few times a squatted too far dousing my rear
and possibly flooding my boot.
The water
in the bay is so shallow it stays luke warm at the coolest and that makes the
work so much more pleasant than it could be.
If I feel cold I just start pulling samples out of the water again and
my hands get warm. Anne and Annie, Dr. Dinell's other interns for his native abalone restoration project joined
us for fieldwork today.

We did find a rather large isopod that entertained us momentarily. Also as we get further from the shore the sea life changes quite a bit. There were big sponges where we were working today.
