A Run On Olde Port Beach -
I'm in the full body ache point in my cold and I wasn't loving the idea of swimming, but a run on the beach sounded like something I could do.
It was a nice morning at Olde Port Beach. The tide was way out, it was not windy and the sun was peaking out. The tide was low so there was a long beach to run on. I enjoy finding the point between dry and wet sand where my feet sink in enough to cushion my steps and give my feet a nice massage.
The high water line along the beach was full of this mystery yuck.
It was green brown, bubbly and did not look nice. It was most common towards the east end of the beach, where the drainage from Wild Cherry Canyon empties onto the beach. I've seen it here before, also immediately after a heavy rain.
I had my Blue Water Task Force water sampling kit with me so I collected a sample of the goo and processed it at our lab in the Central Coast Aquarium in Avila Beach. I'll have the results late Friday morning and we'll learn if this stuff is full of bacteria.
