It was sunny and warm in and out of the water today. The water was 60 degrees and much cleaner looking than it has been recently. There were almost no sea birds to be seen, only one seal cruising the shore break and no sign of the bait fish we saw on last Wednesday evening. Swimming today were Monte, Jennifer, Rick, Niel, Rob, Amy, Adrian and Gerry. This was Adrian's first time swimming with us. We did the triangle route clockwise and kept well away from the pier today, as there were a lot of fishermen with lines in the water. There was only a slight breeze so the water was flat except for near the end of the pier where we were more exposed to a small swell from the SW. With both 60 degree water and plenty of sunshine it was very comfortable out there today. After we were back on the beach I could see a series of large splashes in the water that were probably 2 miles +/- off shore. Even with my binoculars I could not tell what was making motor home size fountains in the water but it had to be either whales breaching, or a Russian submarines...... I wish that they had been just a bit closer.
Rob and I will be swimming Wednesday evening at 5:30.
