Oh "DUH!"- I just realized if I had bare copper wire running out across the
rocks and weighted down just below the water a low tide, as the water level
increased, there would *always* be some connection between water level and 7
inches beneath it :-)  Hopefully it would not corrode/erode beyond
uselessness in the 3 days I only need it for.

Tnx & 73...
