Expert  1170    Southern Pines, NC |  Subject: What's the jellyfish situation at Sandy Point?I was kicking around the idea of a little OWS at Sandy Point this weekend, and I was kinda curious what the jellyfish situation is like this time of year. I've got my Safe Sea ordered and on the way, but was just curious. Or, if there's some other good OWS spot in the NE DC/B-more/Anne Arundel area I'd love to hear about it. Thanks! |

Master 1565 SMIBville | Subject: RE: What's the jellyfish situation at Sandy Point? Down here in Calvert County I've been swimming in the bay in and haven't seen any jellyfish. In the Patuxent River they are still pretty abundant but seem to be disappearing by the day. This time of year (while they are declining) they are pretty patchy in their distribution. I've seen good numbers of them in the Choptank and lower portions of the Chester River. In the upper Chester River and upper parts of the Bay they are few and far between. |

Yeah, that's kinda my plan, but being a complete OWS newbie I was curious about whether there was a jellyfish "season." |

So Dr. Pete, did you do an ows? I was looking on getting one done at Sandy's before I head home to Florida. Any jellies? |

Expert 1170 Southern Pines, NC | Subject: RE: What's the jellyfish situation at Sandy Point? No, the day I planned to do it ended up getting eaten up by a patient of mine who was having issues bigger than the jellies. Friggin' sick people and their needing surgeries, with no respect for my Tri training.... (just in case anyone wants to rail on me for what a horrible person I am and missed the joke, that was a joke.) |
