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.

We just spent a week up in the Sierras, and spent a few days on New Melones
Res. The air temp was in the 90's and the water temp was around 80 by 1pm or
so. We'd anchor by the shore and swim around for over an hour at a time.
Refreshing it was! Nothing like clean water and mountain air!

Too bad Harry doesn't realize that! He thinks the only boating is salt
water boating.
