It’s a beautiful sunny day this morning, with calm winds, so just before the turn to flood tide,  I headed out the entrance, letting the current carry me outside at about 5 knots.  The water is so shallow that it’s a little scary seeing how close the sea urchins are to the bottom of my kayak as I whiz by.  Thankfully, I make it through the narrows without being punctured. 

 

The low tide has exposed colorful sea stars and urchins.

 

 

 

This pretty jellyfish floated by.

 

The early morning sun turned this seaweed covered rock a brilliant green.

 

While I was shooting the seaweed, this mink scurried over the rocks looking for goodies.  When he spotted me, he stopped just long enough for me to get a shot, and then he was running for cover.

 

 

He took one last look….

 

And then, he was outta there.

 

I spotted these loons way in the distance.  Unfortunately, they were determined to keep that distance.
