What are those red patches in the river?

I received a listener question about a seasonal phenomenon people are noticing in the lower river right now: patches of dull red in the water. What is it?

Turns out it's not what many people think: it's NOT a dreaded toxic algae bloom.

Passage Throw'm In The Puget Productions 150 years ago, the S.S. Cumberland disappeared in the Pacific Northwest.

The coffee tastes like used engine oil, the ship has no heart, and the nearest decent tailor is two quadrants away. What's a new Third Mate to do? Will he be able to trust Billy? Spacehounds of IPC by E. E. Smith (1890 - 1965) LibriVox When the Inter-Planetary Corporation's (IPC) crack liner “IPV Arcturus” took off on a routine flight to Mars, it turned out to be the beginning of a unexpected and long voyage. There had been too many reports of errors in ship's flight positions from the Check Stations and brilliant physicist Dr. Percival (“Steve”) Stevens is aboard the Arcturus on a fact-finding mission to find out what's really happening, and hopefully save the honor of the brave pilots of the space-liner Arcturus from the desk-jockeys' in the Check Stations implications of imprecision - the nastiest insult you could cast at a ships pilot. He and the pilots are right, it was the Check Stations that were out of position, not the ships.
