But I thought I just saw a T.V. chunk about how the fish there are gettin' eaten/dissolved by some kinda virus ? And the fishermen are getting sick ? I was on my way out when I caught a smallportion of the show. Whats this all about anyway?

I have not heard that "story" but the Chesapeake Bay is a wonderful sailing ground! The polution and over harvesting of the shell fish over the past couple of hundred years have brought the life of the Bay to the point of near extinction

... but it has shown signs of coming back

Check out this link for information on the Bay and the latest efforts of those committed to inproving it:
