I Have Been To The Atlantic Ocean

I see it every day. It comes far up the estuary to where I live. We have the second highest tides in the world. After the Bay of Fundy. I see the white horses from the college bus. It goes by the estuary. I see the ships tied alongside.

The Atlantic ocean is beautiful, but too cold to swim in.

@Blodyn It's quite a bit warmer than the pacific. I have been to both.

@Blodyn Florida is the most south eastern state in the US. Water temp there is 21 to 26C. Much like Hawaii where the water is quite warm.

Really? The water temperature here is never over 10. I have seen waves breaking in frozen water. @jackson55

@Blodyn I have only been to the beaches in Virginia and California.

@Blodyn And you swim in water that cold? I hope you wear a wet suit.

Blodyn · 22-25, F

Yes. We train in clothes. I wear a rash vest!@jackson55
