Don I hope you can miss it too. The big time forecasters say that this

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.


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.
