Between Two Complete Thoughts.
Explanation: "Mike Steel's bathing suit was still wet from the day before" and "he put it on" are both independent clauses. The conjunctive adverb "nonetheless" (a THAMO) follows the semicolon and links the two clauses. If it were interrupting one thought it would appear inside a single clause (e.g., "He, nonetheless, put it on.").
