Here is an entry I thought shall I or not. My wife said yes as she reminded me the water was still.
The movement was from the clouds and branches rustling in the wind.
Fingers crossed.

This is my entry

It’s low tide on what I am calling Karen’s Beach after an encounter last night with a particularly entitled white female.

At low tide the mud is exposed.

BUT - there is STILL WATER in the marina and the channel leading to the sea!
