Stage 2: Swim Around the Island 7/12/7

The Squad took advantage of another beautiful Block Island day to swim from Ballard's Bait Dock to the Fred Benson Town Beach. It was an arduous kick at times, but WhiteWave, Monkfish, Fozphorescence, GuitarFish, and SeaCucumber navigated the murky channel, delighted in the eel grass off the Beachhead, and braved the sandy desert just south of town beach.
many species were encountered, including striped bass, black fish, tautog, lobster, and scup. The members each gave a lick to a moon snail for good luck.
The next dive is today, 7/13 at 1500hrs. The squad will be swimming from the town beach to Clay Head.

Swim Around the Island

SeaSquad has commenced their epic swim around the perimeter of Block Island. The feet will be done in stages, and stage one began on Monday with SeaSquad members MonkFish, WhiteWave, Fozphorescence, and GuitarFish taking to the waters at Ballrad's Jetty.
Numerous species were encountered: striped bass, sand eels, pollock, lobster, fluke, cunners, tautog. WhiteWave was generous enough to forage some sea lettuce on which we all munched.
The next stage of the dive is set for tomorrow-- Ballard's Beach to Seal Cove. Dive on in and join us.
