Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 2716095, member: 1026"] Admittedly some of my issues with swimming in the ocean are simply practical, not near my house and damn cold most of the year. I'm certain if I lived somewhere where ocean swimming was more accessible I'd take to it. Another thing I like about the lakes I swim in is there are no motor boats and no predators (my wife doesn't like it too much when I put on a wetsuit and ocean swim at the Cape). But of course I much, much prefer a day of ocean beach-going to a day at a lake. Agree on diet too, something about a steak when I'm run down really fortifies me and the root vegetables too, I have to have turnip at Thanksgiving, love beets etc. And the mashed potatoes I ate at my ancestral house in County Cork will never be rivaled.
