I do not think that it made it to the predicted 82 degrees at Avila today but it sure was nice. It was sunny, warn, cloudless and breeze less. The water was clear, flat, 55 degrees and with waves that were too small for anything but a playing on a boogie board. It was Rob, Sylvia and myself swimming today. Sylvia had not been in the ocean in a while so she elected to do the buoy line. I was into doing some distance and Rob is usually good for more rather than less distance. We swam out to the buoy line and turned left. We swam along the buoy line past the last buoy and continued straight to Fossil Point. With the tiny swell and flat conditions it was a great day to head down there because there is usually a lot of wave action close to the rocks. We turned from the point and swam to the end of the Avila Pier. From there to the last buoy at the creek and back along the buoy line, under the pier and in. This was about 1.5 miles and took us 50 minutes including stops.

Rob and I are going to swim on Thursday at noon, and he would like to go Tuesday as well if someone wants to jump in with him.
