I find it amazing that people won't get into their local waters, but

That's a guy who never saw a Chesapeake Bay sea nettle.

Isn't that the truth!

I saw a 5 or 6 year old jump from his dad's boat into the bay last summer
at a little boater's beach we frequent. He had his life vest on, and jumped
right into a few nettles. They got pushed up under the jacket and began
stinging the kid. The poor kid was screaming his head off until someone had
the sense to take his life jacket off. By then the kid was petrified of the
water and the vest. It was a damn shame. Hope he got over it.
