Today I had my first swim of the year in Robin's Island Cove near New Suffolk NY. It was awesome. There's no better way to shoo winter away than getting into the water in an act of defiance against a way too late spring. And it makes my joints feel good. The water was above 60 degrees by my estimate although local weather had it at more like 51. I stayed in about 15 minutes and enjoyed every second. Start it up!
