<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=4>I wished you all could have
been there. Calm and cloudy was the day but not without excitement of
finding keyhole-limpets attached to the cement wall near our put-in, several
good size spider crabs bigger than my hand and fingers hanging around the rocks
on the other side of the wall, a swarm of snowy plovers on the outside of the
breakwater later to see them up close on the rocks,
purple-red-yellow-orange-grey-sea stars all over the rocks, "boils" of fish
scattering in all directions as we approached in our boats, and the one we
missed-an otter! Peter was the lucky one to spot him out a way from the
entrance of the harbor! Ok, I'm going back and do you think it'll still be
there?</FONT></DIV>

going to be like until you venture out into those waters!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff size=4>Thanks Bev for instigating
this day on the water! Thanks Peter for having a bird book so we could id
the plovers!</FONT></DIV>
