I like the peaceful feeling of the leaves on the water, but I would like it
better if you couldn't see into it.  I've always thought that I might get
comfortable in water with scuba gear - I think it's the breathing problem 
that
got to me. Though being a non-swimmer didn't bother me when I was in an open
dinghy, in choppy water outside the Milwaukee breakwater, in December, 
shooting
the Neeskay research boat's "action portrait" a decade ago.  Maybe the 
cameras
kept my mind off getting wet.
