Why on earth is the Newport Harbor water so icky? It looks pretty clean, and the flying fish seem to be enjoying themselves, but today in class when we did the "intentional" capsize (to show that we can right the boat), it's just so darn icky - like heavy and salty. Maybe it's because of the motor oil, or maybe it's because I am uncomfortable swimming in a life vest and converse sneakers. Bleh.
But, it was fun. The water was comforting, and during a time when no huge yachts that looked like they would squish us were coming by, I was tempted to swim up to Joe's Crab Shack for happy hour . . .
Sometimes Orange County can be very fun. Off to shower and smell less like harbor water.
