I actually got in the water last week. I sat on the beach for a week, watching people in the water, wondering how they could stand it. It seemed too cold for me. But finally, I had enough and braved it. It was windy, which you would think would make it chillier going in, but it wasn't that bad when I finally did make it all the way in. (I only went to my neck, I didn't get my head wet). I was afraid to get out, thinking that because of the wind, I would surely freeze to death........but, once again, not that bad!!!! (And no, I had not had anything to drink!!!!) Of course it should be somewhat warmer now, so I say go for it and get wet........as for the wind, it seems it just hasn't stopped here in Vail/Tucson but down there, it was on and off while we were there.
