Watch out for Marine Debris - A TREE!

Beth and KC out rowing to the SC Mile Buoy come across a floating tree. Navigation hazards such as this tree are common in the area between the Santa Cruz Harbor and the Mile Buoy. Make sure you look over your shoulder every 20 strokes to avoid dangerous floating hazards. Watch this Video to see the TREE.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7CDm9MGkdo
