That sound like a good plan to me. My wife is looking at winter property in Texas at the moment.

You move to Texas and I'm not meeting you for a bike ride!

47 when I got up this morning. Haven't decided yet, whether or not to
brave the cold and do outside work today. ;-)

It was down in the 60s here last night. A few more nights like that
and the pool will be too cold to get in, at least for us. I know those
folks up north are OK with the water being in the 70s but we like it
in the 80s.

Pfffft.if the ocean water hits the high 60's we're happy as clams.

Come on down in January or February. My pool will be warm to you ;-)

Seriously, if you are around Ft Myers, look us up. I don't bite.

Warm or what?

When the ocean here hits 60f it is an El Niño year. Normal is 48-55 year
round. But part of that is the upwelling that feeds the Eco system. Some
places here are a mile deep 1.5 miles offshore.

I know. We were in sunny Santa Cruz and also on the Oregon coast.

The first time I flew out to California, in the 1960s sometime, we ended
up at Malibu, and I wanted to go for a swim. It was summer, it was warm
out and I was wearing Bermuda shorts. So I took off my sneakers, socks,
and tee shirt and ran into the ocean. Holy ****, it was cold! Came right
out. July or August, I think.

Now, if memory serves, Long Island Sound was only in the very low 70s
when I swam in it. I don't know what the temp was in Malibu, but it was
not tolerable. Bummer. :(

Warm or what?

Thanks..that's a generous offer.
What I'd be more interested in would be exploring your little waterways on the pontoon...as long as I don't get bitten by a gator.

Problem is come in the summer. Best weather on the coast here is winter.
Except for infrequent rain storms, is sunny at the coast. And when we get
large storms way out at sea, is great to take a day over to the coast to
watch huge breakers. When we get the 20-25' swells.

Warm or what?

..this year the seas off SoCal were up to 77f. Warmest I ever remember.
Most of the time summer is 66-72f water. Why I own several different
wetsuits. Mostly use the shots spring suit in Sept when we go to San
Diego.

Warm or what?

Now how in the world could he guarantee that. People coax them near
boats with marshmallows. Guess what you would look like to a gator.
