What's up with the green slime on the water? Usually you don't start seeing it till much later in the season. I went for a run this morning and it is BAD.

It's a special additive that the DC government put in the river to detect urine. The more urine, the greener it is.
Anyone want to go swimming?
I don't know what it is. I've seen it pretty bad this year too. Algae I guess. Everyone I have asked has a different answer.

Yes, algea! Normally we don't see it until later in the season if it hasn't been raining. That is not the case this year so I'm not sure what's going on.

So, Bill&Patti, ya'll usually raft up on the Smallwood side of Mattawoman? I know that would be a decent view of Tims. How's the river bottom over there-sandy or muddy? It seems the last few times we ventured to Mattawoman (other side) it smelt like fish... The kid's and I got in the truck after swimming over there and whew!!!...

Time to go run the Chesapeake until it's gone.
