No swimming at Magens
No swimming at Magens
They are releasing water today from the swampy area on the other side of the access road parallel to the beach. There was so much rain that parts of the road got flooded and water accumulated making the road only passable to higher wheel based vehicles like Jeeps and 4x4 pick up trucks.
We were told that swimming would most likely be allowed Sunday. So today and tomorrow we have to find alternative beaches.
No ships in today or tomorrow so I guess they timed it that way.

I guess I got it wrong when I said they released the waters. It turns out to be a natural breach... oh well... my bad.
Here's the article on it:

Anyways, Magens has been open to swimming since yesterday and all is well. We were there today and the kids had a blast as usual.
Met H.L. from Walk on Water kayak tours after he finished a Magen's Bay tour with another group and we eventually scheduled a kayak/snorkeling trip with him out of Hull Bay tomorrow with the kiddies. Will see how it goes.
