Man o War

[bkrickles1]

I mentioned this in a thread a couple of months ago, but we had so much man o war present last summer when we cruised to Bermuda, that they closed off going in the water at Horseshoe Bay.

I'm sailing again in 27 days and was wondering if anyone that's been there recently has been to Horseshoe and are the jellyfish a problem again this year?

I definitely plan on going to the beach and we have a crew of about 13 that'll be joining, but we love to stay in the water for pretty much the whole time so I'm hopeful that things are better this year.

TIA

There is an advisory this morning. Of course the situation a a month out can not be predicted. My suggestion is to go to Horseshoe if there are concerns because they have lifeguards there who watch for them and pick them up off the beach.
