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?


Mr. Happy does.
Phase change and shrinkage are different!

Still a phase change.

Um, yeah, it does - a fair bit below 60 degrees, but below 60
degrees...

Who knows...we seldom see it above 60 . ;-)



You certainly don't. You are clueless, as usual.

Carry on, dummy...

Swimmers have a phase change from live to dead.

Damn, they don't have water heaters there? Don't they ever boil
anything? Must be pretty smelly in his house with no one taking a bath
or shower, especially the drunk kid.

The last word on salt is corrosion. Corrosion, with cheap wiring,
creeping up every wire from the ends. Wires should be tinned, and
often aren't of course.
Aluminum boats like mine corrode like plastic in fresh water. Iowa has
the Mississippi for one border the Missouri another, and for
excitement you can dodge those 1/4 mile long lashups of barges.

I find salt water very refreshing for swimming. Ocean water, not the bay
water around here.

As a bonus, salt water helps dry up those pesky pustules of Krauses.

Actually, in the south, good old dark brown tannin water is the best for
sores of any type. It's a great thing for burns, especially. The local
native Americans knew of it's healing properties.
