Ahh, you've taken water samples at Calvert Cliffs recently. What were
the results? And what were the results from there down to just about the
Pax River? How about Plum Point, Dares Beach? How about Calvert Beach
and Long Beach? Got the readings?

One doesn't need readings to see dirty water. Calvert Beach is a fun place
to go searching for shark's teeth, but surely you've not done a lot of
swimming there?

And if you have, that's OK. If you think that water cannot be enjoyed
without swimming in same, help yourself.

No, not a lot. If and when I swim in the Bay, it depends upon the
conditions, just the same as if and when I swim anywhere. Sometimes
there is a lot of tannin in the Bay, and that gives the water a tint.
It's harmless. On the other hand, when I swim or walk along some of
those ocean beaches you seem to love so much, I'm concerned about
stepping on an HIV-encrusted needle some drug addict left behind.
Oh...and the sharks. I saw two while wading at Virgina Beach last week.
Small ones, two to three footers, in knee-deep water.

Good points. I only wish tannin was the bay's only problem. Join CBF and
see what some of the problems are.
