I spent last summer in the water on Coronado… developed the most disgusting skin infection after a day of surfing. I know it was that day, because the water was particularly stinky, and i was wearing a wetsuit and alot of crud got trapped inside my bkini top and wetsuit. I woke with the infection the very next morning…. on the underside of my boob! It was so painful I could hardly lift my arm – even though it was nowhere near my armpit. I ended up on antibiotics. I am just thankful it wasnt the flesh-eating bacteria, but whatever it was – it was WRONG… I made my mind up that day that Coronado’s pollution had become too much for me or for my kids to be swimming in. Nasty. If they dont fix the problem somehow, tourism will certainly take a hit. If I didnt have family there – I’d probably never go back at all.
