Swimming in the Atlantic

[dagibbs]

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.

Clearly. :) You're the waterbaby. It was nice, but would have been more fun if I'd had someone to splash around in the waves with.

Sounds lovely! I'm glad you got a chance to do that there. Looking outside this morning, I'm thinking that there's not going to be much joy to be had in stripping to underwear and jumping in water here at this point!

Nope. Ottawa weather is looking kind of miserable right now.

Nice! The only time I was at the Atlantic in Ireland, I could only roll up my pant legs, the water was realllly cold. But next time I'm still packing my swimtrunks, wanna go try it anyway.

Florida would have much warmer water. :) Yay for Thai and waves!

Definitely warmer down here.
