Yeah, salt water boating is more exciting but is rarely refreshing.
The water temp seems almost the same as body temp although it is
really a cool 90 degrees in the Gulf of Mexico. On the way home, we
stop at the small spring that flows into the St. Marks River, cool,
clear 68 degree fresh water. It feels different and is actually
refreshing. I can really understand why people would choose lakes
over the ocean but when I look out to sea, it is like magnetism, it
just pulls me toward it.


You want refreshing water temperature???
Come on up... It's 56.3 F at this time at the harbour mouth.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Those frigid temps keep the
bacteria count low.
