Shipwreck Point

We still had much of the afternoon before us after we finished up at Cape Flattery on the second day of our mini vacation... after a tasty lunch in Neah Bay we were on a mission to find another place to explore. I saw Shipwreck Point on the map using my phone so we set off to find it.

It isn't well marked, at all. We just lucked out that the pull off we chose happened to have a sign telling us we were in the right spot:

Point No Point

Point No Point Park and Lighthouse is probably one of my favorite places on the Kitsap Peninsula.

Indian Island adventures

My parents "kidnapped" Taylor me a few weekends ago to go play on the beaches of Indian Island. (We went once last year, too... it's becoming a favorite destination!) The sun was shining, it wasn't raining... so it was a perfect late winter day to be on the beach in the great PNW.

beach seineing

It was about 90 degrees yesterday... very rare for this time of year in the PNW. Instead of sitting in my office and staring out my window, longing to be outside (like I'd been doing earlier this week) I got to go out into the field! Woohoo!

I went with a few others to do some beach seining at a couple of sites along the Hood Canal. It was the first time I helped with beach seining, so part of the time I was just getting used to the routine and methods. It was a lot of fun and hopefully I'll be able to go out and help more throughout the summer.

Before seeing it for myself, I had no idea what it meant to do a "beach seine." I didn't get pictures of the entire process since I wasn't there just to take pictures... I actually had to work, too. Silliness.
