Near Shore Support - some guy who waded to a depth just below the edge of his Speedo
Today was my first swim of 2022! Last swim on Christmas Day - too long an absence.
It's always amusing to eavesdrop on the conversation going on in my brain when I first get in the water on a day like today. "Are you fucking stupid? This water is cold AND dirty!" but then the calmer left side replies softly - "Just wait a few minutes. You'll get used to it and then you'll enjoy it, just like you always do".
The near shore support guy appeared out of nowhere. All of sudden, there was, standing still in water that covered was almost up to his Speedo. Brick and I figured he was some kind of Wim Hofer iconoclast. Brick called him a Wimp Hofer, I preferred the less judgmental Half Hofer.

Extra shot of Killepitsch for those who felt like they needed one - thanks Brick!
The cap to Brick's hip flask went missing for a few seconds until sharp eyed Diablo spotted it.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled Mother's Day Program
(watch it for at least 20 seconds for the surprise ending)

48.2! That's basically 50. Time to soak the wetsuit and patch the holes. I can feel the chlorine rinsing away from my body as we speak!
FYI, Ducky quaked at 46.
Since it's JULY today, it shouldn't be long before it's swimmable for me!
I'm poking at things in my garden/flower beds, trying to come up with some kind of plan. I need to make a little room. Would anyone like some lily of the valley for transplant? Free or interesting trades considered. I work next weekend, but could bring some to the beach May 21 or 22.

I'd like some L.V.
