Nature or Nuture?

Next Swim:  TBD, we’re waiting for the water to warm up a bit more before we start daily swims

Last Swims:  Sunday May 27th and Memorial Day
Water Temps: low fifties, variable
Water Clarity:  Very Good - lots of small fish to see
Sunday Crew: Forger, West Coast(?), Moondawg(??), Capt’n, El Jefe, Panini, Showgirl, Handyman Hank, Diablo, Itch, Nanook, Mark, Drangonfly, Kahuna, Sonakahuna, Patriarch
Memorial Day Crew: Mr. Anonymous, Kahuna, Sonakahuna, Panini, Katie, Capt’n, Drangonfly, Showgirl, Handyman Hank, Diablo, Neo, Mitch, Magic Mike, Sir James, Patriarch

How to explain Sonakahuna’s twenty-fifth place overall finish in the Boston Marathon?  And he trained for it while in medical school!  Amazing!  How did he overcome the bad genes and childhood traumas he got from being Sonakahuna?  I mean - can you imagine having a dad like Kahuna?

I can think of only two possible explanations. Maybe Kahuna is NOT his father (hmmmmm - let me think, where was I twenty five years ago?)   Or - more likely - the credit goes to Squeezakahuna - it was she who provided excellent genes and nurturing.  Nature AND Nuture.

After the (relatively) warmer water we had Saturday it was a bit of a disappointment to have a bit colder water Sunday and Monday.  For me it was just barely doable.  But we still had some good swims, and it’s just good to be back on the beach again after a long winter.
