What Do April Showers Bring...?

JELLY FISH! Lots of 'em, their brown, translucent bodies pulsing and glistening on the beach in the brilliant morning sunshine..."Ew," you may say, but that's actually good news for us open-water swimmers: When we see lion's mane jellyfish this early in the season when the water's still cold, it usually means they're too small to sting, and that they'll be gone by June and we can enjoy the rest of the swimming season! (No promises, though!)

 
 
SAILBOATS! Yes, the races have already started, which means our beloved North and South Buoys can't be far behind!












TUNAFISH?? This may be the first time anyone's found tuna washed up on the beach at West Neck! Usually it's bunker, bluefish or bass -- and not usually in cans!

 
KAYAKS

SPRAY PAINT?? NO, darn it! The tide was so low Daisy and I were able to walk along the beach from West Neck to the White Rock...It would have been a great opportunity to "freshen up" the...(*shhhh*). Next time!

AND ME...!
Hope to see you all in the Salt again soon!

  2. Me, too, David — it’s actually here, but so far only Lider’s been (*choose your adjective here*) enough to take advantage of it! See you in the Salt soon!
