 ATMOSPHERE --- Today there was a very strange yellow orange orb in the sky. We are not quite sure what it was, but there was some discussion that it was something called a sun. Temps shot up to around 80 and winds were from the southeast and south for the entire day.

OCEAN -- The freshwater river continues to flow southwesterly along the coast inshore. On thing we learned from the Black Moon run is that there is a fresh water wedge pushing offshore along the thermocline, creating a very unstable watermass.
