Swimming with Sea lions sounds so cool. They are such friendly creatures although I have never gone out of my way to interact with them.

To swim with the sea lions sounds cool. You have to stay clear of marine mammals here in the US or be charged with harassment if seen swimming with them.

I didn't choose to swim with sea lions, they chose to swim with me. They were able to outswim and out-dive me, they could dive behind a wave and surface when and where they wanted to. They appeared intelligent, curious and beautifully adapted to their environment. They could have swum circles around me without me knowing it.

The US Endangered Species Act provides that the people stay away from the endangered mammals . I apologize for any misunderstanding I realize not all countries have the same laws I was going by US law.

delightful creatures.....
No need to apologise - you already said "here in the US" and we all know there are national variations in conservation legislation*, just as if we were discussing highway speed limits: http://www.watoday.com.au/wa-news/se...802-zztzk.html
* I wonder when somebody is going to check Japan's adherence to the whaling quotas ?? Last edited by Byron : 08-03-2014 at 01:57 AM. |

I am very aware of the law hence why I haven't attempted to swim or interact with sea lions. They will come up to my kayak tho and on rare occasion try to board it...

I saw on YouTube a couple of surfers interacting with a seal pup in California. Letting it play on their surfboards they claim for over 1 hour. I don't know if they will be fined since the pup came to them but I'm sure they got a lecture concerning the law.

I didn't do anything as cool as swimming with sea lions, just swimming laps sharing a lane for awhile with another homo sapien (lol) in a red Sporti which feels so good gliding through the water.

In the interest of continuing this thread after over a month of no posts, what I did in my speedo today was to swim a full mile for the second time. I wore my Turbo Ipanema ( thanks again to Turbofan and STS for turning me on to Turbos) the same suit I wore for my first mile swim. I think the Ipanema is my motivational suit; whenever I wear it, I feel like I can just keep on swimming.
What did then rest of you do today in your speedos? Anyone else loving Turbos? D67 |

I swam in a very cold lake, my Turbo print swimsuit covered by a wet suit in 55 degree water. After, I shed the wetsuit, enjoyed hot coffee and a warm blanket wrapped around my Turbo clad body. A few cups later my parts came back, my bulge grew normal. By then I was off to harvest crop.
