I used to wear speedos, back when I lived in cold climes.
===================

I guess I'm in "cold" climes (Pacific Northwest), so I'll give the
speedos a try (although I've tended to avoid the very brief "eastern
european at the beach" fashion statement -- which is`exactly the
comment I know I'll get from my wife and daughters... "eeeeewwwwwww!")

So far, everything I've read about attire indicates that cotton is out.
Thus, I'll assume, not cotton briefs.

So, while we're on the topic, if not cotton T-shirts, what would you
recommend as a top?

If all goes according to plan, we hit the salt chuck this weekend for
our shake-down cruise.

Cheers,
Wilf
