Mr. B. has finally been convinced, on the last day of our annual Port A trip, that he needs to try and “get back on the horse” instead of letting his Tuesday bout with the Sea Nettles keep him out of the Gulf. He and Mrs. Charm and grandma from Fort Worth are just setting out. Updates on this important news item on the hour.
UPDATE: He did it! Said he didn’t see (or feel) any this time. But the higher than usual heat and humidity (heat index of 105 F) finally drove him back inside.
Mr. B. said “it felt like it clamped on me and stung,” describing the Sea Nettle that got him in the water today at the beach. He said he ran away from it and it let go. Seem to be a lot more of them than usual this year. Really hot and high humidity, too, but it’s usually like that.
