Shit mate, just jump in with somebody else.
There's always spare seats, and car hopping is a great way to get to know people.

I know, I'm a fricken' joy-germ...And I am not your mother!!

"DO NOT WALK YOUR DOGS IN THESE AREAS - ALGAL BLOOM · Ashburton River at State Highway 1 bridge · Ashley River at State Highway 1 · Waimakariri River at Reids Reserve Environment Canterbury is monitoring the sites and the public will be advised of any changes in water quality. The Community and Public Health division of the Canterbury District Health Board have issued a health warning after potentially toxic algae (benthic cyanobacteria) were found in the Ashburton, Waimakariri and Ashley Rivers. Canterbury Medical Officer of Health Dr Ramon Pink says the algae look like dark brown/ black mats and can produce toxins harmful to humans and animals. “Exposure may cause skin rashes, nausea, stomach cramps, tingling and numbness around the mouth and fingertips,” Dr Pink says. “If you experience any of these symptoms, visit your doctor immediately and let your doctor know if you’ve had contact with algal mats or water in this area. “No one should drink the water from the river at any time.” Boiling the water from the river does not remove the toxin. However, reticulated town water supplies are currently safe. Animals should be taken to a vet immediately if they come into contact with the contaminated rivers, Dr Pink says. Humans and animals, particularly dogs, should avoid the following sites until the health warning has been lifted: Thanks Steve for sharing"

Anyway, It doesn't mention the Rakaia River but keep a lookout for crap where you are swimming. TC

Thanx for the heads up. Hopefully this is a down stream problem, and the head waters will be OK. I have promised the girls a swim if the day is OK.
