Just inside the bay
10 Jan, 2022, 10am
High Tide 1:40 pm

Circled around a bit
15minutes
Current low
Vis 2m surface, 1m bottom. It was not good enough to use my fancy camera or spend much time.

I put my hand in the mud seven times. Shell at 10cm deep every time. Four large clam shells, 2 scallop shells and one predatory snail. Some smaller shell.
