I miss living near the beach too and hearing the ocean and smelling the salt water... We lived in Santa Cruz on the coast in CA, and the beaches were so beautiful. Now we live in Washington State.. not near any beaches :(

Please feel as free to share your "wonders" as you want here. If someone is not interested at one moment they / we can just skip reading it. Though sharing in what interests, inspires...each other is part of what enriches empathy & insight in life & relationships, so yes to that . @ being around and loving water I can agree personally too. I was born by the ocean, in san francisco ( said by some astrologers to be a "scorpio ruled" city whatever they meant by that). Ended up being moved by parental influences within a couple years to various places including landlocked and barrenly dry fresno for a few years at different times. Not my type of town for numerous reasons including being so dry. Though for a few years we lived in a tiny coastal town in oregon, which was one of the most enjoyable times of my youth. Feeling the beauty, expanse & quiet natural power of so much water moving according to solar & lunar influences was magical. Many hours were spent wandering, exploring and simply being still at the oceans morphing edges. After many other relocations, I followed my heart and moved myself back to the san francisco bay area and the oceans magical energy @ 2002. When I lived with my grandparents at different times, they had pools which I loved playing in. Was warned about turning into a human prune more than once while lingering in the water. One thing I loved doing was holding my breath then going to bottom of the pools deep end and meditating or crawling & walking around on the bottom as long as I could hold my breath. The feeling of floating with waters special embrace surrounding me completely was / is wonderfully nurturing. Provided access to air is available whenever wanted. That being said, I too am not a great swimmer by any means. Mostly I dog paddle, do a kind of fishy fins to the side stroke under water to propel myself, bob, sink or just splash around.

I'm not much of a swimmer but I love water. The thing about beaches and pools is that it's mostly a day time activity. I'm not very friendly with the sun. Not only do I prefer the night but I'm a redhead. Sunburns ; ( Ouch.
The ocean is magical to me. A walk on a dark beach is a dream. I live in the Midwest so.....that doesn't happen much.
The rain soothes me. I love a good thunderstorm. The emotion of the storm itself inspires me... makes me restless and refreshed. If I'm feeling sick I jump in the shower and once the water hits me I'm feeling better.
I'm a double scorp... moon and sun... venus, mercury and jupiter so very watery!

"sex with other water signs is heaven on earth in my experience with the sensuality and so on being very nicely matched"

heheh... .i wholeheartedly second that. Kinda like being tossed around by the ocean--very reptilian

To me sitting on the beach IS sex on the beach.

Bender: Which ocean? That ocean? [Listens] Woah, it's the like the earth making sweet salty love to itself while all the fish groove on it! ...

totally feel ya on the hydration tip, especially being active and sweating I notice my whole life shift when hydrated and not. I also have a memory of a time when I didn't work and was swimming in the ocean every morning and life was super great. I had no $, lived in my truck and didn't care, it was awesome.

I love the beach, swimming pools and hot tubs. To be in water is a very physical thing, you move through water using your whole body and it wakes everything up.


Sea creature such as huge animals and predators scare me though. I have had many bad dreams as a little kid about sea monsters and sharks.
