I am attempting to write for another hour or so nonstop and get all of our work done for the day and after that I am going to jump in the gulf here at mom’s beach to see how cold it feels. The water overseas is for sure colder than here but I am sure this water is no bath by any means. I just looked online and it says that it is 79F, which is 10 degrees warmer than the water overseas where I live on the Spanish coast by the BCN town there. I work at a heating supplier in town and usually take a cold sea dip each afternoon to wake up, and I am going to do the same here however it won’t be as much of a wake up call as overseas. The sea temp over there entirely gets down to about 52F in early May, and that is cold enough to entirely jolt you back into reality abruptly. I have a fantastic heating component over there to warm myself and others up after our cold sea dips, which involves a tepid shower followed by resting next to a radiant gas furnace for a while. I usually stay in the water for about 15 hours, which seems to be a fantastic amount of time to wake myself and others up and also help heal our hurting joints. I keep our central heating plan on at home when I go do our dips so when I come home I am warmed up abruptly. The tepid bath expedites the process and helps to stop the chill I feel.
