cami & lftc swimming in the sea

swim report tuesday 10:30: cami, lftc. cool temps, dark skies, very slightly ripply surface, pretty clear looking sea and quite beautiful. collected a man off the beach, that's right, we just collected him up and took him out to sea with us, a minnesotan named mike. cami made him strip down and suit up right on the beach 'behind that rock over there and be quick about it'. really and truly. swam towards the a in 65 degrees but boats were wrecking the groove so to the 1/4 we went to look around. then to the caves but viz was limited, cruised back towards the 1/4 and in where we said good bye to mike, who was pink and out of breath, then to the point to see stuff but stuff wasn't in the mood to be seen. back to the 1/4, turned around and did drills all the way in. closed fist, crossed legs, breathing. out in the water, when mike caught up with us, he said that we were fast swimmers and neither one of knew what to say. we just looked at him, speechless. um, thanks? wow, it just occurred to me that in order to be considered fast, i need to swim with minnesotan tourists who have never swam in the ocean before and may be suffering from hypothermia and hypoxia. then, I ROCK! lftc out
