We Swim So We Can Eat.

Diane and I vacation in Bradenton Beach, FL. The house in which we stay is 2 blocks from Tampa Bay and 2 blocks from the Gulf of Mexico. We swim in the Gulf. To the right 1.4 miles up the beach is a restaurant just off the sand. No shirt, no shoes, no problem. We like to swim up the restaurant. Diane tows a waterproof flotation container which contains some money, t-shirts, and shorts. This device has a belt that is too small for me so Diane gets the honors. It is truly waterproof. Depending on water conditions, the swim will take about 45 minutes. When we arrive at the beach in front of the restaurant, we open up the container, dress for lunch - t-shirts and shorts - and go have lunch. After a leisurely meal and after being warmed by the sun, we reverse the process.  Down to the water we go. T-shirts and shorts go back into the container. We go back in the water and swim home. Total time is about three hours. What a great way to spend three hours of vacation.
