Langley Harbor search

Lots of flotsam on the surface, hoping to find some visibility under the miso soup. It did open to 5-10 feet, but it was like a night dive under all that mess above. And silt was like a snowstorm. I did find two young Sunflower stars, everything covered with fine silt. Many crab traps under the docks, but no Dungeness inside or around. What is amazing is the number of Northern Kelp crabs. They are everywhere. No kelp in sight and I never seen that many here in the harbor. I saw couple of them fighting over mussels which fell to the bottom from the dock.

Because of all the forage fish I swam through yesterday, I had to come back for some more. Clouds of Herring, Shiners were still awesome even if today's overcast made the scene somewhat gloomy.
