Spirits were high this morning. We started off this morning with an extra hour of sleep, and woke up to a hot breakfast of eggs and donuts (kudos to Tom). 

Although the weather was gloomy, we loaded into the vans to go to 4th of July Beach to meet Kate Kelly, a PhD student studying eelgrass wasting disease. After a couple minutes of sloshing through the marshy shore, we reached our destination and started our surveying.

Lunch found us on a bluff overlooking the shore, where we enjoyed beautiful views, an Orca sighting, and some (almost) successful fishing. 

We later met with Shauna Barrows, to assist her in cleaning up a restoration site on the West side of San Juan.
