My good friend, Sharon, invited us out to spend a couple of days with her in Galveston again this summer. We had a great time. This year, for some reason, the seaweed was out of control.
It was thigh high for quite a long while that you had to walk through in the water to get to the ocean. Then it was floating around once you got in the water. You were up to about chest high before it wasn't noticeable.
The second day we were there they were moving some of the seaweed to piles along the sea wall. It was a good start, but there was still a lot of seaweed there. When you got about halfway through the pile, it was a gooey mess to step in, and the whole thing didn't smell all too pleasant.
We went to Galveston in August and we found that most of the seaweed was gone. It was much better!
