Hundreds of dead menhaden
Got Blue Mind ready to go sailing off the mooring again, massive menhaden die off with hundreds and hundreds of dead fish up against the shore in Lake Ogleton, the stink was beyond belief.

Tough call but decided to leave our J 35 on the mooring in Lake Ogleton , stripped all the sails, stack pack, life sling etc. Extra penant on the mooring. Storm is abating as I'm writing this, all is good. The lake is a great storm hole unless it's blowing east north east and over 60 kn sustained.
