It was sunny, a perfect day to enjoy the warm, first stirrings of spring. We had imagined that the tsunami would have brought in lots of extra plastic and maybe a few special pieces but to our surprise there were only our most regular items: shotguns wads, bottle lids, oyster tubes. Judith did find a purple tiparello tip. A first. We have collected them by the 10's of hundreds in an ivory color but a purple one - indeed, a rare find.
