Into the (Stinky) Void

 Water Temp: 58 per the LTL (fka TTL)
Air Temp: 60
Wind:  None
Waves: None
Clarity: None
Kru, wetsuit:  Showgirl, Lydia the Tatooed Lady (aka TTL aka LTL), Mystery Man, Dragonfly
Kru, skin:  Fin-Fyn, Magic Mike
Shore Support:  SpongeBob PoopHead

Arriving at the beach we were overcome by a powerful odor of old bird guano and after some strenuous mental exertion, made the call to set up north of the north barrier.  We were safe here for a time, until invaded by this species of SpongeBob that Lt MJ located amongst our stuff:


"I think Shore Support Mascot's expression is reflective of the chilly water (and maybe also the stench that was slowly wafting through the air,)" Lt MJ commented.  LTL and I speculated that perhaps the stench was emanating from this entity.

Also disturbing today was the mucky bottom, like mud you'd find at an inland lake....but no mud here, what could it BE????????

Despite the odds, we had a great swim with the flat, though uncomfortably cold, water.
