| Beach magic. |
So it used to be that the cold water immersion folks (aka the Wim Hoffers) would gather at the middle-to-northerly side of the beach, and the swimmers would gather at the middle-to-southerly side, with very little interaction.
Little by little, inroads were made.
Smiles and nods occurred, temperatures were exchanged, and water conditions were discussed. At some point actual conversation commenced. We started to know some names.
And then, one momentous day, Mermaid Princess crossed over.
She opened the door, and now, in this cold season, there is probably more dipping/Wim-Hoffing than actual swimming. (Though please also see the bottom pic...)
