We took the power boat over to an island and walked around the beaches for a few hours. We were beachcombing for Indian money, small white tubular sheels about 1"-2" long. I found nine and Sara found about the same. Natives use them as beads for shawls now but in the past they were used as money as they are very rare and hard to find. Latin name is 'dentalia'. It rained most of the day but we had rain gear and it was not cold so it was a good day. Saw more otters and there are always lots of birds on Sara's porch-jays, doves, crows, etc.

It is a beautiful place to be. Sara cooked wonderful meals of homemade soup, bread, cookies etc.
