Things are just starting to get warmer! What are your merfolksy plans for this year?
I hope to make myself and a good friend painted tails and swim with them- hers loosely based upon a parrotfish and mine of my own design. I am making my friend's first because her birthday will be coming up. I'm doing some research about natural swimming places (read: non-chlorinated and outdoors.) I've heard about a nice quarry somewhere in my area that people can swim in, but I am not entirely sure if they allow fins, let alone a whole tail. I also want to start researching the ocean. Next year will be my senior year. Most of the student population goes out to the beach to do questionable and unadvisable things during "Senior Week" in the summer, but I would love to go to the ocean and swim in a tail. Despite living relatively close, I have never actually been to the ocean, though I did spend about a week repairing a camp on the edge of lake Michigan. It was beautiful. I walked along the beach every chance I got. It was March, but I was (am) stubborn and went into the water as deep as I could stand. My toes were so numb! I can hardly imagine how amazing it would be to swim in salt water with waves and warmth. *daydreams...*
