And don’t forget all the run off water, not to mention ‘other’ water that runs into that beach area. Friends of ours used to keep their boat in that area and the owner told us a funny story about how they rued the day they fell in trying to get from their dink to their boat as a wave came in. She swore it took her three showers to get the smell out of her hair. A long time ago but a lot more development these days, too.

Lots of people swim there all the time with no ill effects but I’m just saying I wouldn’t and I’m certainly not suggesting others should or should not follow my lead.
