Pack ice
Low tide with the remains of a huge iceburg that broke up and got blown into the bay. The pack ice chunks varied is size. Some as big as an aparment building and some as small as an ice cube. In the middle of August, no one was boating and the commercial ships were unable to unload. Havoc on the beach! The pack ice blew in and the out again. It all returned with even larger pieces. It was crazy! The waters are usually clear of ice through July and August in this part of the bay. This was very unusual. So much ice was surrounding the town that it was a very chilly summer.
