Ocean Swimmers take note!!!

This incredible, wonderful rain is going to send lots of "stuff" down the canals and streets into the bay.

In the summer, when it rains regularly, we give it three days after a good hard rain.

This is a good HARD rain, we'll give it 4 to 5 days.

Please be aware of natural water qualities.

We are SO lucky to be getting this rain!!!!

Tourists were in the ocean before sunrise today. I didn't see the point in shouting anything to them. Besides, who am I to tell them anything? I grew up my first dozen years swimming in the Ohio River. Amazingly the first time I was ever aware of getting ill from swimming in dirty water was when I almost lost my hearing from ear infections I got swimming in Christiansted Harbor, in St. Croix, USVI.
