April ushers in the first (daylight) minus tides of the year. The best April tides are still a week away and I’m not alone feeling restless. While we wait, here’s the view on May 16, 2014 when low water permitted an intimate encounter with rarely exposed corallines and surfgrass, Phyllospadix. Submarine Rock, centered in the middle distance, is an old friend. It accommodates all the intertidal zones. Mature Sitka spruce forest cloaks the hills in the distance.
