I’ve sailed in this lake. I felt like pressure-washing myself whenever I capsized and got wet. Such dirty water!
The leeches are a nice addition too
Agreed with that reader comment. Where is the water quality report?
I predict a surge with infections for the swimmers, luckily the Civic Hospital is down the road.
Looks like one doesn’t have to register for this “splashy photo op”. How accommodating of Mr. Nussbaum! I’m guessing it will be elbows up as camera persons attempt to get the best picture possible of Mr. Nussbaum busting a bottle of champaign over the dock. Definitely an event that everyone will want to attend. Is the “uniform of the day” Speedos????
Well, it is the same water system that feeds Mooney’s bay but still… ew. I don’t think so.
Has anyone seen the size of carp swimming throughout the weeds? Seriously?
Maybe the NCC chair could be the first to dive in? Dare .. double dare.
