Mick, I love to see your pictures!!! Those are some pretty clouds, did they bring rain? That would be a fantastic thing if so. You are lucky to live near a beach, is the water warm there? Where we live, even in the heaves of summertime, our water is not warm. It can be swam in, but not warm. I remember when we went to Fiji, the ocean water was too warm, figure that, and we swam in the pool because it was more nicer to swim in. BUT When we went on the 3 day cruise to another tiny island and snorkelling in the coral reefs, the water was beautiful and warm, but very very pleasant to swim and snorkel in, not overly warm as it was just off on the beach at the hotel. If I ever want to go back in time and get out of our winter cold here, I put on our Fiji videos and I am right there. No cold winter rainy dark and dull day for the entire time I am consumed in watching the video. I loved to snorkel and swim when we vacationed there. Oh ya, so where was I? Is the water warm during your winter time too? Very curious about world temperatures. Great day. Cindi
