The weather has finally started to turn around so when the sun shines you take advantage.
We walk the beach almost every morning and part of that ritual is to pick up the garbage that comes up on the new tide.
This morning we got a surprise when about a dozen dog fish in this state showed up.
We don't know whether it is natural or man made but a call has gone into the Ministry of Fisheries. Dog fish are considered a garbage fish by commercial fishermen.
High Tide line
Each day the beach is different. Haida Gwaii gets two high tides and two low tides a day. High tides can be as high as 24' on the New and Full moon.
Peter with this mornings collection
This, I am sorry to say is the average collection every morning on the same stretch of beach, approximately 2 kms!
The finds are not all bad though, Agates, the second hardest rock in the world which are created through volcanic activity are a bonus to our morning walks.
Amazing pieces of drift wood are also a bonus if you can pick them up...this one would look great in the garden!
And of course you can't forget the views!
For other great places from around the world why not join us at
and please think about where your garbage goes if you do not recycle it!
