Also you need to wear a dive skin or the like because of jellyfish.

How far north on the Bay are people seeing nettles just now (I mean in
season, of course)? Used to be that in the northern Bay we could swim and
not worry. I plan to hang out on the Bay a bit this summer and want to get
an idea of the problem. Reason I mention this is that we are seeing nettles
in Barnegat that we once never even had to think about.

I encountered a swarm of them in Nabb's Creek (just south of Baltimore)
a few years ago. I wasn't wearing my glasses when I went for a swim,
and didn't even SEE them until I had already dived (Dove?) into the
water in the midst of them! I had one miserable time afterward!

I don't know how far north, but we see them basically year round in
our marina off the Potomac.
