@lankapo, holding that Iguana… on my arms like a cat? No way!

@ Aaron, nice to see you around here, buddy. You know, I could manage to put my arms behind my head, but crossing my legs made me look like Titanic…

@ Dr. DeJesus, now I have a scientific explanation I can refer to from time to time. Thank you for that. Although it’s still a bit mysterious and magical to me. ;-)

Your body’s buoyancy varies depending on the ratio of lean to fatty tissue so if you are very lean your body will have a hard time floating unless you do something to affect your buoyancy like breathing in a deep breath, holding it, and leaning back just a little as you lay flat on the water.

James hasn’t published his percentage of fat in weightlossdude.com since 12/3/07 but it’s probably higher than yours, so if you had a hard time floating, I hope this makes you feel a little better about it.

For the budget minded, Baldi Hot Springs is a great alternative.
With several pools of varying temperatures and a swim up bar, it’s a great place to relax.

Hey Marcus,

I have no idea how James does his floating trick in the water either. I certainly can’t do it!

Looks like you folks are having a blast!

Pura Vida!
