We were set to skim past the end of Mud Island when I noticed some birds walking around on the water. At about the same time, Jon noticed this shipwreck riding rather high on the water. Hmmm. What did that all mean? Well, for one thing, birds don't walk on water and wrecks don't float. We were heading to a patch of mud covered by an inch or so of liquid. We executed a quick turn to port and narrowly averted disaster.
