Went on a short drive to our major park on the tip of the peninsula.
While there, at an old beach we played on as kids, I noticed two fishing
boats tending to lobster traps right at the beach & next to one of our
container piers.
The biggest local New Years Day polar bear swim was held at this beach
until 2000 when authorities declared the beach too contaminated with
bacteria to allow swimming...even in January. Now I see them fishing
for lobster... talk about being grossed out!

Don't fret about the polar bear swimmers though, events were held at
three other locations within a few miles of the city center...
at Herring Cove, Portuguese Cove and Lawrencetown Beach.

Nope!
A group of my buddies started the first polar bear swim back in the late
'70s and I could have been a founding member. Just too sensible I guess.

11th floor. You by chance wern't a floor Don were you?
