Short sighted..?

Today's calm, clear conditions created the opportunity to take a swim out to the Marine Museum Barge from West St. The experience was slightly degraded by appalling visibility in the order of only 8-10'. It can only be assumed that the high winds and heavy seas of yesterday were to blame.

Given the conditions, it was quite pleasing to spot a couple of Bass in and around the wreck. The water temperature showed a slightly surprising 35F (2C) and landside, in weak sunshine, the mercury indicated just the same numbers.
