Notes
The water in the immediate area was opaque with algae and surface scum. The shore had a wide matt of blue-gtreen algae. Visibility was essentially zero. If the surface scum was disturbed by raising and lowering the disk, visibility rached 10cm.

Birds included pelicans soaring, and purple martins calling
