Peanut Butter & Jelly Fish

An unseasonably heavy mist accompanied me on my way to shore this morning.  It reminded me of the June weather I encountered along the California coast just north of San Francisco a couple of years ago.  Certainly not San Diego in mid-July! When I reached the shore with my rowboat, I noticed five or six cardboard signs placed at regular intervals along the beach.  These signs are very familiar to me.  "Aviso!  Warning!" The signs proclaim that bacterial levels in the bay are high enough that they could be harmful to a swimmer's health.  I am glad that I am wearing my rubber boots as I step out of my dinghy and into the shallows near the beach.
