Jnauray 30, 2010 Where'd the beach go?

Arrived at Cooks Beach for the first time after the big storms to find the sand had been washed to sea. This picture was taken at a minus tide and as you can see, the water comes right up to the rocks! It will be interesting to see how quickly the sand returns.

The last couple of week's sunsets were rained out.

Today's sunset was tainted with plastic. For the very first time on Cook's Beach I noticed large quantities of plastic bits in the waterline of the tide. Is this the first signs of the Pacific Gyre moving on to our shores? sigh.... I guess time will tell.
