Is the sargassum starting to pile up? Anegada?

Not starting to pile up..sadly it never stopped! It seems rare to get it on north shores..except with a strongwesterly that blew it into Smuggler's Cove a couple of months ago..As long as all those nutrients flow into the Atlantic (a large amount down the Amazon) we are going go on being stuck with this smelly mess...It effcts South shores mostly..

Manpot...does that mean that Cow Wreck and Big Bamboo are clear of the sargassum?

Spent three days at Anegada last week. Some sargassum but not bad. Tipsy's had their beach completely clear. Small amounts floating in the water.
