Last night on the bay.

All is quiet in the yurts as the sun is no where near setting. A series of four hour studies in the field has left the group feeling a bit tired. The sing along last night had everyone participating until nearly ten. Tonight by 8:30 only two students remained as Jenny and our own Mr. JT led a lively songfest.

Tomorrow we head back the vans parked on the spit and make our way to Seward to sleep at the Sea Life center. Hopefully we’ll have access to the internet via phone or PC and the time to toss an update your way.

A few photos from today’s afternoon investigation of cobble and sand beaches as well as a look at some 4,500 year old settlements.

Peterson bay search for Echinoderms, Arthropods, Mollusks, and Cnidarians. And unexpectedly finding a couple of octopi. image

These three beauties were in a protected tide pool. These live to be 150 years. Frilled anemones, you know.image
