Has anybody discovered the source of the (very) strong odor of
raw sewage that permeated the Lakes Bay/Hampton Inn area last
Saturday.
It seemed unanimous that it wasn't the usual "Eau deLakes Bay".

I've got to believe it's unlikely that raw sewage is being pumped into
Lakes Bay now. Jersey has some of the toughest environmental laws in the
nation, and those laws have made a big difference in the past two decades
in water quality and in many other ways.
Could the bottom muck contain leftovers? I guess, but I'm no expert. Maybe
it's possible that what people are smelling is naturally occuring gas
produced by the decomposition of swamp grass and other organic materials -
or, maybe, the decomposition of Jimmy Hoffa's body. Maybe we found all
those missing Wise Guys.

I've never sailed at Lakes Bay but, if there are any marina's nearby then
they might be the cause of your smelly odor. At Kalmus on Cape Cod the
Hyannis Harbor gets increasingly smelly as the summer wears on. The
seaweed is also getting thicker and thicker each year. I've been told that
there are boat owners that illegally dump before they get into the harbor
or while actually in the harbor! Many have said the stuff acts like
furtilizer for the weeds. How are the weeds in Lakes Bay?
It's kind of funny, this is the first time I've ever heard anything
negative about the place. Is this smell enough of a problem where I should
avoid sailing there the next time I'm in NJ?
PS. Good one about Hoffa's body, I laughed really hard!!!
