Notes

14 sailboats, jet ski, 2 kayaks and 3-4 powerboats visible during my time on the point. Last week at this time I saw 6-8 people fishing and about 20 people watching the sunset here. One person caught 4 bass in 15 minutes. The boats are honking horns loud. The young lifeguard on the beach nearby noted this is the lowest the beach has been in 6 years. It is receded by 10-14 feet since the start of the season. One person sunning themselves on the rocks a few feet into the water halfway down the point. Rocks are covered with spiders, spider webs and a large amount of fast food litter.
