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 is home to some of the largest bass tournaments in the country. It's not near the
cesspool it was 25 years ago. Every year it seems to get better. If we could figure out a way to
keep the Anacostia clean, the Potomac would be much nicer. The banks of the Potomac used to be lined
with dead fish, and if in the military a fall in the Potomac earned one an immediate tetanus shot.

Much better now. Now the big problem is the Chesapeake Bay.

We're just beginning to touch on 70 degrees in the Potomac, which is still pretty cool for the kids.
This week we're getting temps in the 80's, so that should warm the water a little.
