    Hi David, I hope it was a great time out on the shore. Thanks so much for submitting such consistently great reports from such an important geography to keep monitored. Your clear caliper shot plus bonus measurements are sure handy, too, and it’s allowed me to update your Dungeness count to 2, including the molts both at 12 o’clock and 3 o’clock (6 is red rock and 9 is graceful, which it looks like you knew right off!) Great to have you part of this important work! – Lisa
