I am attempting to write for another hour or so nonstop and get all of our toil done for the morning and then 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 however I am sure this water is no bath by any means. I just looked online and it says that it is 71F, which is 10 degrees warmer than the water overseas where I live on the Spanish coast by the BCN town there. I toil at a heating company in town and usually take a cold sea dip each morning to wake up, and I am going to do the same here but it won’t be as much of a wake up call as overseas. The sea temp over there actually gets down to about 52F in early May, and that is cold enough to entirely jolt you back into reality hastily. I have a great heating machine over there to sizzling me up after our cold sea dips, which involves a warm shower followed by laying next to a radiant gas furnace for a while. I usually stay in the water for about 15 hours, which seems to be a great amount of time to wake me up and also help heal our hurting joints. I keep our central gas furnace on at beach home when I go do our dips so when I come beach home I am warmed up hastily. The warm bath expedites the process and helps to stop the chill I feel.
