An unusual crop of driftwood today. Floating around out there for a long time and maybe over a long distance?

In the Puget Sound area, I have done quite a bit of beachcombing. I have not seen this kind of barnacle growth on driftwood in the Kitsap, Jefferson or Island County areas.

On Wednesday morning, we are on the Washington Coast, at the North Beach


The item below features an unusual alphabet.

Did this float in from a long way off? Was it tossed off a boat closer to where we see it now?
