Pete, was that a deliberate sinking or did it just sink from rain water collecting in it, etc.? In all cases it's a crying shame to see something like that..

yall must have cooler water in the summer up there. If that thing sat like that for a year in south Georgia it would become one giant, man-eating barnacle.....

For sure our water is cooler... I still remember after we bought our house in Georgia... (St Mary's) we went to the beach the week after we moved in.... it felt like I was stepping into the bathtub for cripes sakes!!!... It was actually hot to me... I spoke to someone on the beach, he tested it and told me that it felt a little cooler than normal!!!! To put that into context, our surf temps right now are running 75-80 degrees.. and that's warm by our standards.

down here,in the summer, if you leave your boat in the water, you have to have the bottom scraped by a diver at least twice a month

i have seen back water bays get into lo 90's. oddly enough, the coldest i have ever been is in st joe bay scalloping in 85 degree water on a 85 degree day with a 15 knot wind.
