We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am.
Last Saturday we had an extra low tide and decided to visit the beach at Davie Bay to see what we might find there. As it happened there were few tide pools to explore and hardly any sandy patches exposed and we didn't find anything much unusual. Unlike beaches in other parts of the world, in Europe in particular, our beaches are almost totally free from garbage and man-made pollution of the very worst kind. I'm thinking in particular about tar and heavy oil that so often ends up washing ashore in areas with heavy marine traffic.

The beach at Davie Bay is clean and oil free now, but the plan to build a loading dock on the right side of the island in the photo will bring tugs close to
dangerous underwater rocks.
