Swiming in the Gulf and Cloyde's

12-30-2005 The Gulf was cold, about 65 degrees, but Ben, Sola, Tim and I ventured into the salty water. All of us made the “up to the neck” club as with time the body numbs up and you don’t notice that your peripheral circulation is shutting down. I came out and hopped in the Jacuzzi only to have my fingers start to tingle as the circulation returned to the more distant portions of my body. In the late afternoon we all got dressed up and ventured out to Cloyde's Steak & Lobster House in the “Village” a couple of miles north of the condo for their early bird special. At this time of year you have to hit a half hour window to get the early bird. The portions are smaller than later but really are just about the right size.
