Senior needs help with my work outs.

We had another blustery walk today. Actual temp 0C, but 25 km winds gust to 45 kph, making the temp feel like -6C

 

[Cate]

Brrr! That makes for a decent workout though.

 

[mddolson]

Today weather was much more agreeable, +5C and very little wind. Made for a nice walk with my wife & Bella. Tomorrow we head to the airport in the afternoon & fly out Saturday morning for two weeks in Samana Bay, Dominican Republic.

Enjoy your trip!

 

[mddolson]

On vacation in Samana, Dominican Republic. We walked 2km on street into town, & then walked along beach back to or resort.

 

[Cate]

Lovely. Will you be doing any diving?

 

[mddolson]

Hope to go diving later in the next week. Whale watching is on for Tuesday.

 

[Llama]

Good thing spring has started here by now or I'd be so jealous!

 

[mddolson]

Mmm the open water swimming activity on our Apple Watch needs work. We snorkeled from the start point shown to the bridge then back to the elevator ( left) the beach is easily 100 metres long so we would cover 150 in our swim. The app says 25 meters in the half hour.

 

[mddolson]

This morning we walked along the beach and up to the bridges spanning 3 islands. About 1.4 km to the and, but also 91 meters elevation.

 

[Llama]

You're making me look forward to my next vacation: four and a half weeks to go! I hope you're enjoying the warm, lazy days.

 

[mddolson]

This morning’s exercise was another walk along the beach and across three bridged islands then back to the west villa side of the resort. The hillside is about 25meters vertical along a sloped 250 meter switch back walkway.

 

[mddolson]

We went snorkeling, but the first site was full of jellyfish so we relocated to a small shipwreck in about 8 meters depth full of small fish.

 

[Llama]

How lovely!

 

[Cate]

It all sounds lovely, Mike. I love snorkelling.

 

[mddolson]

Not the jelly fish part. The trailing stingers can leave nasty burning welts on the skin. They can be neutralized with either vinegar or chlorine bleach though

 

[Cate]

Eeuw, no. Not the jellyfish part!

 

[Cate]

Happy Birthday, Mike!

[mddolson]

You must be across Intl date line. It’s still Mar 30 here, my birthday is tomorrow (another 6 hours) March 31. Thank you for the happy birthday wishes!

 

[Cate]

It's 9.08 am on the 31st where I am
