The Ocean and
My Mother's Chicken Soup....
It may not be a big deal to some, but I and my Cetus MV experienced salt water for the first time down here in Alabama. And, as I paddled into the Gulf for the first time, I couldn't help but think of Mom's soup and how it differed from the ocean. You see, Mom's soup always needed salt.
Nevertheless, we are enjoying 80 degree days and bathtub warm water while camping near the inter coastal waterway. Not much else to say except that I am loving it. Nailed my first 3 rolls in salt water, and that can't be bad.
Paddle safe...

Q: Why is the ocean salty?
A: It makes the fish taste better.
It was pretty nice in Milwaukee today with a record high of 83F. I paddled on Sunday and the air temperature was too hot for a dry suit but the water temp was in the high 30s. All you needed to do was roll over for a ice cream headache.
Now you can call yourself a true sea kayaker since only the sea is actually salty. The downside of salty water is that it ruins stuff so much faster than fresh water.
The great lakes are true inland seas; sans the salt.
All well said. Thanks. Can't beat the 70+ degree water temps.
