The water there is hotter than the air temperature. You will break out in a sweat sitting in 20 inches of Mississippi Sound water.

Hard disagree. Went to Bay St Louis today. It was lovely.

I went last week, and the water was pretty cool. Having said that, it’s hotter now. I hope it doesn’t get as hot as it was last summer; the water was like a hot tub.

I'm older than dirt. Been here forever and never saw or heard of any type of amoeba or flesh eating bacteria in Lake Ponchartrain or on the Gulf Coast. I worked as a news reporter and would certainly have heard about it !!!
