“I was diving on Juno Ledge. That’s about a mile off shore of Juno Beach.  At first I thought it was a sea cucumber although no one has ever seen one stretched 7 to 10 feet the way this one was.  It’s sort of grey and putty like and very smooth and taffy like in the way it stretches.  Some of my friends and I have sort of dubbed it the living intestine.”
