The skies may have been gray, but we sure had a super time at the beach this afternoon!
Skate cases, periwinkles, crabs, crabs, crabs, snails, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks, shells, several kinds of seaweed, horse shoe crab shells, AND a dead molamola (an oceanic sunfish!!!!) which (according to Fitz) is rare to see on a bayside beach. This massive, white creature is a jellyfish eater, usually lives in deep water, and is the heaviest, bony fish on the planet. They can weigh up to 5000 pounds, although this one probably was about 500 lbs. Their bodies are known to be incredibly dense.
The beach pictures in the next post will speak volumes about how much fun we had...and how wet we got!
