Grey Day

Janna, Liz, Addy and Al went down to the cabin for quiche and spinach salad. While Liz and Al inspected the beach Addy and Janna measured the dimensions of the cabin interior. We spent some time talking about possible reorganization of the space.

Al and Liz split up a nice piece of western red cedar for future fence rails. We also checked out Point Joe and discovered over 100 spider crab carcasses. Someone has been feasting fairly recently.

Walked down to the cabin to see how it had fared in the freeze. One water pipe on seaward side needs replacement. Deer have gotten into the garden in spite of the new slats in the fence. Now that they have tasted that delicious parsley we'll have to doubly reinforce the barricades.

A huge group of oystercatchers (well, at least a dozen) landed and inspected the intertidal while we stood on Point Joe.  Lots of fox tracks all over. There's a good protective amount of driftwood on the beach, preventing undue erosion from our recently developed "feeder bluff".
