One group bushwhacked their way into the forest and muskegs, another took off outbay in the skiff to explore, and a third group came with me to do some beachcombing. With tidal ranges of around 15ft, there can be a lot uncovered at low tide. Our shore walk started at the back of the bay. The tide was dropping as we explored, exposing more and more of the rocky shoreline. Most of the rocks near the water were covered in mussels and barnacles.
