Well, I'd hazard a guess that if you ever swam in waters 56.8 degrees, you'd readily agree it's colder than comfortable (if you surfed you'd want a wetsuit) as are waters in the 60s, common Catalina summertime temps. Cool ocean water would be in the 70s, ala Hawaii, (I'd guess California oceans never or rarely get that warm) and the 80s ala Gulf of Mexico would be considered warm ocean water, I'd think. KM You are a wuss! I've swam in 45F water in Lake Chelan, Washington. No problem. How long were you in the water? I've been in colder waters than that in Colorado, but, doubt if I'd advise anyone else it's comfortable unless, like some others, they're numb all the time. KM 15 minutes, perhaps. I have NO desire to ever repeat the experience. I prefer hot spring pools, now. I guess it depends where you live. When I lived in Seattle, I enjoyed hot-tubs and Jacuzzis. Have been in one only once since moving to Hawaii. Since it never gets cold here and is usually warm I even take cooler showers. Though Hawaii doesn't get nearly as hot as Southern California, the cool ocean temperatures are a treat on hot days and when people have been physically active.

Since I've not driven up Mauna Kea (the rental car just about died at the visitor center before the summit road), I've only touched natural ice in Hawaii on Haleakala after the sun went down. My family insisted on staying till all the stars were visible but were glad to drive down to the tropics afterwards. -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |
