summer is NEARLY here in Asuncion
Our summer doesnt really get started till the ocean warms up which usually happens around the first week of August as the cold currents withdraw. But
last week Dora pushed some warmer water our way and temps rose to the mid 60's to kick start our summer...which means the kids finally can get in the
water! I was soooo happy to finally be able to play in the ocean without a wetsuit for the first time in many months. It's so nice to see people in
the water again....here are some local bathers at our little beach...note that none are in bathing suits...typical here...love the cheerleader with
the kelp pom pom!

Brisk 'n Lovely!
We have now found not one, but two Secret Beaches in the Greater Bahia Asuncion area!
Our special spots, hidden in plain sight.
Its been warm & muggy so I took a quick dip and enjoyed the waves blasting over the surrounding rocks in the private cove. Doggie-girl Suzi loves
cuttin' loose on the seashore, and we even took the two kittens last week to one place that's protected from the wind (cats don' like wind I found
out). They sneaked around in the bushes, played with the shore flies that love the fermenting sargasso or climbed all over me. Back to town by
sunset.

looking at Terafin it appears the warm water is only as far North as Abreojos. I hope it keeps moving.

i lost that one in the folds of the old brain cells, Bob. it's good to enjoy the classics every once in awhile when you least expect it.
here is the modern version:

Woody... A bit too modern for me!! I like the classic version better! The older I grow the more I seem to like the classics...except when it comes to
the ladies. Call me a pervert if you want, but....I still enjoy good looking, sweet young things...LOL!!!

For the record
Actually, it was it originally sung by Porgy and Bess.

So the water will be summer-like in December, Shari?
We'll bring out tandem kaiak. This thing will blow you away!
It's a Hobie Tandem Adventure Island, with the emphasis on island as in visiting your islands.
