Holy $%*t that was cold!

Marta and I swam a mile today around 1:30.  There were 3-4 ft. waves when we started but it was much calmer when we came back in.  The water must have been 55 inside the Cove.  We swam out to the half mile buoy where it seemed like it was 56 or 57.  I definitely could feel it get colder again when coming back in.  Marta was a brave soul and went without a wetsuit.  We both used fins.  I don't think I will go without fins this winter just because it helps stay warm.
