As I was picking up my kayak a couple of days ago, the smell of Stinky Beach reminded me how much I loved this place. Wading through mounds of seaweed in bare feet and dodging the rocks was a way of life as a kid. Still is. I remember my first attempt with my friends to row a tiny “borrowed” boat that I think, was my cousin Dickie’s. We went around in circles for hours. Kid life in Magnolia!
