I spotted this guy munching away on my morning stroll to the lab. Though I shouldn't have been surprised at how quickly he ate knowing what slugs can do to a garden overnight I still was.

| Lunch in the library. |
Back when we first arrived at SPMC the staff had a potluck lunch for
us. Friday to show our appreciation for all they do for us we had a
potluck lunch for them. It was a lot of fun and a lot of good food.
 |
| Watermelon, feta, basil salad - amazing! |
After lunch the dive crew headed out to see if they could find any Olympia oysters in a channel that runs near the trestle. Apparently genetic data shows that younger Oysters at the trestle site have some varied genetics from what was planted pointing at other Olympias nearby.

Anne and Annie dove for quite some time searching in the mucky water with very low viability looking for oysters. Dr. Dinnel also had them collect some shell and bring it back up for us to look for small juvenile on that could be hard to spot underwater. The ladies brought up a good batch of shells but none of them had any spat on them.

One fun part of going to the trestle was that we went by Shannon Point on the water and got a new view of our temporary home.
