When is the water going to be warm enough to launch? I'm planning on
going out Memorial Day weekend here. That is IF it isn't storming like

The water here is more than warm enough; temps in the bay are in the low
to mid 70's.

I wonder what the water temps are in the Potomac or surrounding
rivers.

BTW, is the Potomac as polluted as I hear it is?

The Potomac was getting cleaner throughout the 70s and 90s.. I assume
they are still on a good track. I could find someone up there who is
doing water quality testing in the same program I am in I imagine.

You have me curious now, I will look into it now that I know what the
numbers mean. I used to just believe the government when they said it
was doing better. I know they were saying the Potomac was safe to swim
in, right there at the Memorial Bridge in the early 80s when they were
having the raft races.

Good thought to know about it's status.

And concerning figures, I used to believe in the government too,
well, I still do...for the most part. It's politicians I dont' trust.
