I have been swimming in my St Margarets Bay cove daily when possible for 
up to 35-40 minutes at a time all summer every year for several decades 
and this year have found the water temperature to be wonderfully warm, 
but yesterday, despite no significant or prolonged change in weather 
temperatures, we discovered to our great surprise and dismay that the 
water was bone-chillingly, frigidly cold and we could not swim at all. 
Later yesterday, while out sailing with some friends who had just 
returned to NS after several months of sailing, I was most interested to 
learn that they had noted a striking drop in water temperature (from 
approx 20 degrees to 12 degrees) while rounding Cape Breton a few days 
ago, en route for Halifax. I told them my experience and we all agreed 
we had never seen such a startling and rapid sea water temperature 
change before.

Any suggestions as to what could bring this about will be most welcome!

Eleanor Lindsay,
Seabright, St Magarets Bay
