Re: Mukilteo Lighthouse Park - NO diving?

isn't loitering the purpose of a park?

from wikepedia

to loiter (third-person singular simple present loiters, present participle loitering, simple past and past participle loitered)

1. To stand about without any aim or purpose; to stand about idly; to linger; to hang around.

Re: i got a drysuit! now i have a question.

i think that the neoprene will be best for me. i tend to be really rough in things. delicate, i am not. :naka: as for the seal, i seems mostly fine, but a bit wrinklish. think baby elephant skin. i just wanted to be sure that i do everything that i can to keep the suit happy. a happy suit means a dr...

i got a drysuit! now i have a question.

first off, wooo hoooo!
and now for the question. the suit is an oneill xts 5/7. the neck and wrist seals are neoprene. it has been stored for a while, and the neck seal seems like it could use some "plumping".
what can i do to rejuvenate my new suit?
thank you in advance.

Re: Les Davis

thank you to all who play beaver. when we were there for class a couple of weeks ago, a few people were kind enough clear a path. it would have been very difficult to waddle down on unsure legs with the addition of a logjam. i should have said it then, and for all, :notworthy: thank you. :notworthy:

Re: Damp Feet

be careful with foot powders! i grabbed whatever was handy one day and froze my feet. (it takes a while to fully work out the powders too) some powders have menthol or similar ingredients to them, and while this might be great for jogging, it is not so good for cold toes. i use desenex and that one ...
