At the risk of sounding whiny .... when is the water going to warm up? Ok, honestly, it is hard to get in the water these days. Once you are in for several minutes it's OK, but it's just that initial "What am I thinking" that gets you.
Ok, I admit I am a weenie. Check out the book by Lynne Cox " Swimming to Antarctica"....and you will easily affirm "weenie". Lynne Cox has swam all over the world in literal ice water (35-38 degrees). Literally having to break thru ice flows and floating ice-bergs to get through!! Her story is amazing. A little disturbing (she's nuts) but amazing. Here is her website for more information. If you like the water, you can not miss this book!
Even when there are no "big things" to see, it is never boring. There are always interesting new things to experience. Not all of it shows up well on camera however (at least the type of camera I use that I can swim with).
Despite the nippy conditions, the visibility has been crystal clear, so I really have nothing to complain about. Beats being in New York or Chicago. or anywhere east of Kona for that matter.
Here are some friends from the sea today.
Thanks for traveling with us today.
