- Geez, if I were to drive a straight line to the Pacific, I'd have to wear a parka and fuzzy flipfllops on the beach. - Trish Jul 31, 20:31 9
  - I have always (apart from grad skool) lived within an hour drive to the beach. I think it would freak me out if I wasn't. - loosilu Jul 31, 20:33 8
    - I grew up about 4 four miles from the Indian Ocean, now I live about 10 miles from the Pacific. I haven't been to the beach in years :/ -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 31, 20:50 4
      - I think I missed where you grew up! -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 20:57 3
        
        West coast of Australia. Up country, on a farm, until I was 10, and then on the coast until I left for England at 19. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 31, 21:03 2
        
        Just a few miles south of where Mafic's based these days. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 31, 21:05 1
        
        very cool. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 21:13
    - I think I was a sea captain in a past life. I go to the ocean as often as possible. - Trish Jul 31, 20:47 2
      - ironically, I am the worst sailor in the history of Erf. I get seasick in 10 minutes, and the least wind freaks me the fuck out. - loosilu Jul 31, 20:51 1
        
        When you drive on I-10 out of New Orleans, go across the causeway over the gulf, just on the other side is miles and miles of white beaches on the - Trish Jul 31, 22:21
- Bath day! -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 31, 20:23 1
  - they are nice. you should try them -- nm - chuckles Jul 31, 20:34
- pixie and I were in the same ocean at the same time today! -- nm - nubby Jul 31, 20:02 6
  - Cool. How far away? - amoxy Jul 31, 20:23 3
    - about 200 miles. -- nm - nubby Jul 31, 20:37
    - Not far enough. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 31, 20:24 1
      - here's hoping - Trish Jul 31, 20:49
  - Is that why the water is blue? - CrankYanker Jul 31, 20:19
  - ewww - chuckles Jul 31, 20:03
- That was the one thing I loved about Florida. I've never known water so warm. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 31, 20:00
- I hate you. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 19:56 6
  - imagine how Nags Head Max feels -- nm - chuckles Jul 31, 20:01 3
    - what about NH Max? -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 20:26 2
      - he texted me that it was freezing up there. i laughed at him -- nm - chuckles Jul 31, 20:33 1
        
        the hilarious thing is that French Canadians think Maine is really warm. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 20:34
  - The usual hate? - eag Jul 31, 19:57 1
    - different. Normally I hate him for being him. This time I hate him for doing something I would like to do. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 20:05
wikianswers that based on average temps, Pacific is warmer. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 19:15 5
- I saw that one, then read another one that explained how the Gulf waters warm the Atlantic and the Polar water cools the Pacific. - CrankYanker Jul 31, 19:23 4
  - the pacific is larger and has relatively more of its area spread over the tropics, so it makes sense that it'd be warmer on average. - mafic Jul 31, 20:05 1
    - it was nice and cool in Guam and Hawaii... god that was wonderful. :) -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 20:15
  - as wikianswers says, they are both vast oceans and the temperature varies greatly. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 19:26
  - Coastally in the US the Atlantic is warmer. -- nm - Dano Jul 31, 19:24
