What&#39;s the water like down there? Clean? Temperature? I&#39;m looking at the race location on a map, and I&#39;m not getting excited. It appears to be some kind of drainage sluice.en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/263687?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 09 May 2008 08:00:35 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:8f4116e7-accc-48cd-bde6-9369c3a8d81bFormer MemberNo idea.

Water temperature both times around 65-70, warmer than I had expected. Visibility poor. Second time I did it the whole area had a faint but unmistakeable sewage smell. On the bright side, the event was nicely organized and there is a big play structure in the middle of the beach for your kids to enjoy while they wait for you to return from your adventure.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
