Morton's Wharf and St Lawrence..

Dianne, Chris and I spent just under an hour in the water this afternoon enjoying a leisurely examination of the remains of Morton's Wharf and the nearby remnants of HMS St Lawrence. Conditions were reasonable, though the visibility is shrinking quickly thanks to great clouds of algae. There are huge clumps of the bright green algae accumulating on the bottom. Today, I'd judge the usable range of vision to be about 35 feet.

The water remains stubbornly cold - 42F (6C). Nevertheless, fish life is beginning to reappear in greater numbers. A few large Bass were present near the remains of the Wharf - and at least one Freshwater Drum (first seen this year) was also cruising the area.
