Waiatt Bay & Octopus Islands

We woke up to a beautiful clear day. We took the kayaks into the Octopus Islands. Near the shore in shallow water we say many starfish, sun starfish, crabs and sand dollars. I thought sand dollars were unique to the east coast since I've never seen them in California or here before. We think they are sand dollars anyway. They look just like the ones I've seen in novelty stores. Many of them are black and they look like velvet. After viewing sea life we went to look for the rock that hit us yesterday. It is low tide and saw it and the blue-tinged scrape on the top. There is a scrape on the bow at the waterline from our encounter. Thank goodness their was nothing seriously damaged.
