First, I want to give many thanks to Kathy G, Jo Ann J and her husband Rich for helping with the transportation of the students and help me manage this beach clean up. I could not of done this without their help.
It was a bright sunny day on Waties Island early afternoon when we took seventeen students out to the island to do beach clean-up. We split up into three groups, one group did the Hog Inlet area, another did the middle of the island, and the last did further up the island. We did not cover around the jetty area, since their was someone on the beach enjoying the day at that end of the island.
We picked up lots of small trash items - the norm, bottle caps, small pieces of foam, plastic bottles, balloon ribbon, rope, several shoes, clothes plastic and glass bottles. The "unique" items we collected were a mannequin plastic hand, toilet seat, this large foam item, and an ocean buoy.

We piled the trash on the beach and transported students back to the shed. Kathy and I returned to the beach and loaded the trash in the back of my truck. The ocean buoy was reported to Dr Gayes, and is sitting outside the shed.
The ocean buoy is sitting out side of the shed. A good time was had by all.
