We had an early morning coffee to get going and then went on our Pleasure Point beach walk revealed huge south swell creating a great swell for surfers; we really like our early morning walks prior to workout; We found a beautiful uncommon ribbed brachiopod (Terebratalia transversa ribbed variant) & the small razor clam-looking Adula falcata, along with many other species including Hiatella, Calliostoma caniculatum, Acanthina, Bittium eschrihtii, Ceratostoma foliatum, Diodora aspera, Nucella emarginata, Collisella pelta, the isopod Traskorchestia traskiana (sand flea), Pododesmus jingle. Afterwards we went for a run on the beach at Pleasure Point. Later for lunch we had a double birthday celebration for Wayne's long-time friends Ray Hsu & Gary Montalvo, with Dave Akawi. Jean-Luc created a magnificent BBQ lunch for us.
