Thanks for the update. PP...much appreciated. Seems like the seaweed problem is becoming more frequent. We were last on the island in 2014, and several times prior, and it was really never an issue when we visited in July. I wonder if this is the new normal for OB. We spend a lot of time in the water, so it will be a bummer if we can't get in because of seaweed. I suppose there are plenty of other beaches, but OB is our favorite. Enjoy your time there!
