Great job, CC. Congrats on your fabulous OWS and for tackling that ocean, stinger free.
I think I have a new life plan... move to the land down under during the winter and stay here during the summer. I just can't get enough of the warmth- and the scenery is incredibly breathtaking where you are.Check out my running blog: www.turtlepacing.blogspot.com

No jellyfish? That's the part that gets me, the stinging globs of goo, that I can't see. At least I can SEE a shark!

I thought it might be. You are a brave girl. I would definitely freak if I saw anything in the water while I was swimming.

Yep sure enough as soon as the Dolphin got closer the lady stopped swimming and was treading water. I think she was just in shock that something that big had popped up right near her. I love Dolphins but yep it would still scare the beejeepers out of me.
You did very well

Good job, CC!
I envy your warm weather though. Here, the sky was clear and beautiful today but it was also very chilly.<Brrrr>
