In response to Sara Slater’s sea lettuce opinion (April 19), we were one of the neighbors who complained about the stench of the sea lettuce. Dumas Bay is a shallow, protected bay and we’ve lived here for 21 years (hardly new citizens). The beautiful summer (2006) was one of the worst for the smell.
