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.http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=44258

There is a difference between refreshment and a religious
experience.....

You sure water doesnt have a phase change below 60 degrees?
