We didn’t see much debris on the way over to Rattlesnake Island this past Saturday. Only a 5-gallon bucket washed up on the shore. Unfortunately we were unable to grab it. Next trip up I hope to hike over and retrieve it, with luck it is in useable condition!
There was not as much dock damage on the island as we thought there would be, as far as I could tell anyway. Only the Owl’s Nest or is it Crow’s Nest now, but that happened back in October. The owners sure are going to be surprised when they find their dock completely gone this spring.
Yesterday afternoon on our cruise around the island we spotted a small board about 3” x 12” over near the peninsula. Turns out, it looks like it was marking a mooring.

A small white bumper would be much safer.
There was lots of fishing going on!
