Jim's first swim of the season

High tide was around 7pm and Jim really wanted to see if he could get a swim so we went down to Spanish Banks yesterday evening around 7:30pm. I like my ocean swims to be quite warm so I didn't take my swim gear.

Wow...apparently the ocean was amazingly warm!  Although the official temp of the ocean was 65F, Jim felt it was more like 75F. I'm sure that's an exaggeration but he obviously really enjoyed it.

And I just got a message from Maureen about her first swim which was also today. I feel like a bit of a piker...

"Had my first swim of 2018 this morning. Did my usual distance and really enjoyed the water.

Really tired now however!"

Looking to see if it might be absolutely freezing.

Ready to plunge
