Vancouver Ocean Swimming: No more swimming!
http://vancouveroceanswimming.blogspot.com/2012/10/no-more-swimming.html
My name is Ira and welcome to my blog that documents the challenge, adventure and revelation I experience swimming in the open sea around Vancouver, BC. Monday, October 15, 2012. I can hardly wait to return to swim in our local waters and I hope no. Oil spills ruin this potential while I am gone! Anyway, check out my new blog, the adventures are so far wild! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Trying out the wetsuit, the first swim. Vancouver's cultural well-being under threat from oil spills.
