May
Because I am on the board of the friends of the Daniel Amichai Rowing Association and because there was an accident the other day in which a girl overturned in her rowboat and couldn’t free herself, and she is hospitalized, I went down to the club to see what was up. It turned out they didn’t know more about the incident than what was in the news, because she wasn’t related to the Daniel Amichai Center, but there was another fact I was concerned about. People in the shore stood and watched her struggling and were afraid to get into the water because they’d heard about the problem of the bacteria in the Yarkon, and I admit that I too might have been influenced by that thought before I jumped into the water. It turns out that the water in the river is no worse than the water in the sea. It’s not pleasant but not dangerous.
