Sunday's afternoon low tide exposed all the baby mussel beds. Not really sure how mussels are born and grow. What do you call the tiny, immature ones? There are millions of little mussels along the bay which I suppose is a good sign that Smithtown Bay is healthy. I purchased a used kayak this weekend and I am still waiting to get a paddle and life vest before venturing out. Something tells me the kayak will perform better if I have a paddle. I think my hands would get tired.
