I'll go about mid-thigh level and float for awhile, but I don't like getting in the ocean anymore.
I'm a beach guy, I could happily live on the beach forever in a nice cottage. Jamaica, St. Maarten, wherever, put me there with a cool drink and a good book and I'm good forever. But swimming in the ocean? Not me. It's just a giant toilet for billions of sea creatures.
And the sand is their graveyard and our ashtray...lol Recycling at its finest.

Right. We each have our place. I mean, if a shark came and hung out with me on the beach, how would it hold a frosty drink? Fins aren't made for that.

Fins? Hands? I generally prefer someone else's fins hold my frosty drinks.
And make mine two umbrellas. What do people drink on a beach? Maybe it would be good to learn some drink names.
Nix on the sweet ones, btw.

My beach drinks all center around rum. Mojito is perfect.
