Swimming in the Atlantic

One of the people I'm traning suggested a Thai restaurant that is out by the Atlantic shore. It was a 20km drive, but it would give me beach and Thai food -- how could I lose? So, I drove out there, got to the beach, walked along, and realized I hadn't brought a bathing suit with me. Oops. So, I rolled up my pants and waded for a bit. Then, went for dinner. But, by the time I was done dinner, it was dark out. So, I dumped most of my stuff in my car, walked to the beach, then stripped down to my underwear and went swimming in the Atlantic Ocean in my underwear. Fort Lauderdale beach is a pretty nice beach, actually, and looks to be a completely free, public beach for a decent ways, too. Cool.
