A brutally hot summer day, without even a decent breeze to help. Temps at home were around 97 this afternoon. When I left for the beach, Cove Point was showing about 88 over the water, later climbing to 92.
I managed the full walk up the beach past Matoaka and back with the help of one bottle of water. You can't see in these pictures, but there are a few places along Matoaka where the cliffs provide some welcome shade.
I found 14 shark's teeth of which this was the best. It's a Snaggletooth, of course, but there appears to be some debate over position. I think it's an upper tooth close to the center, maybe next to the parasymphyseal because of the heavy serrations, others think it's a lower.
Paul Murdoch was out walking a group, and I asked him, and he waffled.
The Sea Nettles are definitely here.
There was a fly-over from a
B2 bomber flanked by 2
B1 bombers. I assume they were on their way to a fly-over of the National Mall. This is the first time I've ever seen either of those planes in real life. Too bad I couldn't get my phone ready for a picture in time.
