Yes, I swim well

No, I never had the opportunity to learn
No, water scares me
No, but I would like to learn how

I think I'm the third one to say this in response to this poll...
I grew up on Narragansett Bay, I was always on boats, I have always known how to swim. Comes in handy when you grow up jumping off cliffs into Breton Cove, jumping off boats to cool off when there's no wind to fill the sails, bailing out of a boat in general, or being pushed off by your brother!
GO RAVENS!!

I have memories of Narragansett Bay myself but most are not related to swimming. My cottage,located in East Greenwich, actually backed up to the Bay when I was stationed at Quonset Point. The strongest memory is the fact that it was frozen. When salt/brackish water freezes it is cold.

Hey - one good thing about that salt/brackish water is, that it's really easy to learn to swim in. I don't know how anyone could do anything but float in that since there's so much salt (and who know what elseOriginally Posted by kokopup
), that it's pretty difficult to sink!!!
Frozen Bay - wings on your plane folded and frozen - you just didn't want to leave RI - did you???

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.
Ecclesiastes 3:1The clock of life is wound but once and no man has the power
To know just when the hands will stop - on what day, or what hour.
Now is the only time you have, so live it with a will -
Don't wait until tomorrow - the hands may then be still.

Life Is Good
In the more than 2 years I lived there I know we had all the seasons. I remember my wife trying to raise some flowers with one of those roll out seed things. Never did see anything blooms. The only season that I really remember was Winter. I guess it's because the one's we had were so severe.
I had a Fiat 600 and lived on the last street in RI to be Snow Plowed. Trying to get my car to the main street was a comedy that couldn't be scripted. I would actually put the car in gear engine running, get it into someone else's tire grooves, then get out and push till it just went into the main street then I would run and jump in. Up until the tires finally hit pavement they would be turning but getting no traction. Quite a sight.
IF God had intended for me to battle the perils of winter, I would not have been born in Alabama.
