Yeah. No wind.
The forecast got sh#t canned until the sun-set session. I got my glow sticks ready. Last night at Lassing was fun. Still have those stinging things on my arms and legs though from the south end. Weird, I have spent more time in seagrass beds than most and that was some weird stingy stuff. Slight side note, but that is widgeon grass (Ruppia maritima) out there at Lassing. Fairly rare type of plant for this area. Does anyone know if there is freshwater runoff straight to the park?

I'm not sure about the fresh water, but as you surely know, Widgeon grass tolerates a wide range of salinity, from the slightly brackish upper and mid-Bay tributaries to near seawater salinity in the lower Bay, and in hypersaline salt pannes. Widgeon grass has also been reported to grow in the freshwater parts of some estuaries and in nontidal waters. In more saline lower Bay areas, widgeon grass and eelgrass are the dominant bay grass species. Widgeon grass is most common in shallow areas with sandy substrates, although it occasionally grows on soft, muddy sediments. High wave action can damage the slender stems and leaves of widgeon grass.
Just being a smart-@ss. Pulled that off a Chesapeak bay site. I wanted to look smart too! Since we were pulling out latin names.

Nice... good stuff. Widgeon grass isn't unheard of here, but it's fairly rare.
So rare, the when I was a "seagrass guy" (master's thesis was about seagrasses and distribuition in relation to salinity) I hadn't seen any in Tampa Bay or Cedar Key or ........and we traveled the whole State. Cool to see it I guess was my totally off topic point. Now we gotta figure out what is stinging us. Hey, I think it is picking up.. stuff is blowing at my house, I am outta here.
