Muggy Monday

Mornin'! It's 78 muggy degrees this start of the week. There's a little breeze of 8-10mph out of the N-NW that will continue through most of the day. It'll be mostly sunny today with some passing clouds. There's also a chance of a passing shower and/or thunderstorn later this afternoon. Temps are hitting the high 80's and may even hit the 90's today. Basically, it's just about a repeat of yesterday...hazy, hot, humid, some clouds, and that chance of rain later...keep your eye on the sky. High tide: 3:44p.m.; Low tide:9:28a.m.; Ocean temp: 80°; Sunset: 8:05p.m. Don't forget about the trash...pick it up...don't litter the island. Saw alot of it yesterday...cigarette butts galore all around us on the beach (cigarette Butts are made of plastic, of the same type of plastic as is found in plastic bags and soda bottles. They will eventually degrade, especially if the environment is right for that sore of thing (moist, warm and shady) but they will take much longer to degreade if flicked or left on a beach. The nicotine contained in 200 leftover cigarette butts, is enough to kill a full-sized human being according to the admittedly biased http://www.whyquit.com/ and have a negative impact on the wildlife) as well as major trash floating in the nice, warm, clear ocean...gross. And, actually saw a family leave all their trash at the campsite on the beach after breaking down their canopy and umbrellas and chairs etc...trash everywhere and they just walked away. Nice.
