RE Sounds like a tough day.

I was the exact opposite of the others, swimming way out relaxed feeling like the Ocean water was my comfy bed. That really felt good, to feel like I mastered the Ocean,

That next year I had hardly swam at all

I was gasping for breath and those huge waves would crash and shove me under and it took time to figure out which ways was up to get some air..

I would reach the surface and breath fast for ~ 30 seconds ??? before the next one hit again.

Only my experience at past swimming when in better shape saved me.

My exact thought was 'If I panic now I will die' I now recall.

LOL

Been there.

Do you still live in the area?

Would you consider swimming it again?

I’m going back to DE, NJ and NY to visit friends next year and taking that swim(after the horses?) would be kewel.
