So, first things first...several people, including myself, were asking "When are we swimming on Thanksgiving Day?"  I was a proponent of Noon, thinking that was when the sun would be highest in the sky.  Sunny claims that since the clocks were turned back, 11 am is the high time. Itch suggested 10 am, trying to be considerate of when the thanksgiving cooks might have a break in their cooking schedule.  So, please comment on whether you think 11 am is the best bet or would rather see another time.  

Now, getting back to today.  It was a sunny day, not a cloud in the sky.  So, of course, a whole bunch of Kru-nicks wanted to go to the beach, and we were glad we did.  Something about that bright sun - it makes you feel warm!  As I was swimming, I kept thinking I could feel the sun warm up the surface water.  When I came back and was swimming between the rocks, the sun was shining directly in my face, and it felt warmer every time I came up for air.  This was probably a hallucination, right?  But then again, when I got out of the water and was bare chested, I felt like I was basking in the sun, getting a tan!  Mr. A must have similar feelings - he went in with his lava pants, gloves and silicon cap.  He was first in and swam while the rest of us were putting on our gear.  He was back just as we were setting off.
