I was out in my hottub last week, just enjoying how nice the warm water felt on my poor sore leg, and reflecting on how crisp and clear it has been in the Portland area lately. I was floating there wishing that it was another month or so later, so that I could get a reasonable start on replenishing the tan I have been boiling away, as I work on soothing the discomfort of this sore leg. The earliest I have been able to Sun has been March 6th. Anyway, it occurred to me that, even though it was quite cold out,(about 40) the sun was still quite intence. If you float just under the surface of the water, and use the water to keep the chill off, you could still get the ultra-violet rays. I was just wondering if anyone can think of a reason why this wouldn't work. ...Now if the sun would just come back...... Annadiana Beaver A Beaver@Tektronix

I always thought that the thinnest layer of water blocked all UV rays, but I don't know where I heard that. stv
