New York lists this as simply "50-foot vessel". I had an old note of a vessel Maroca on the Shinnecock reef, and "Maroca" is clearly spray-painted on the transom of this boat. A mystery solved!

Whether or not Maroca is its real name or just graffiti, I don't know.

Butterflyfish

The most common and treatable fish disease in both freshwater and saltwater is Ich ( or Ick. ) However, although they have similar life cycles and symptoms, the freshwater and saltwater varieties are actually quite different, and caused by entirely different organisms. In both cases, the organism is a parasite, which has three major life stages:

  • a free-swimming stage where it is looking for a host
  • a feeding stage, where it is embedded in the host's tissues
  • a reproductive stage, during which it forms a cyst and drops off the host
