FYI - the tree trunk has floated back out to sea - or maybe it is a new one - about 100 yards off shore?? Seemed to be embedded there - I stumbled upon it (luckily with my hand) as we were swimming North ("hmm who's hard leg is this?") I was near Sewerpipe?? The shards from the break were sticking out and pointing South - so be careful coming back if you head North.

Oh and the water was 69 and flat as glass :) Great morning.
