We had 10 swimmers today; Sylvia, Niel, Monte, Jennifer, Dale, Amy, Duke, Dave, John and Gerry.   The water was flat and 59 degrees.  There was an occasional 3' wave and very little wind.  While I was taking the water temperature there was a small pod of dolphins along the east end of the buoy line, but they moved off by the time I got back to the beach.  There were a lot of sail boats maneuvering off of the end of the pier, a race forming up, so we decided to not argue about right of way issues with them and stayed to the buoy line.  We swam the the ease end of the line and then continued straight on to just off of the rocks of Fossil Point.  We returned back to the buoys and along the line to the pier, under the pier and to the last buoy at the creek.  Then back to the pier, under, to our starting point and in to the beach.  This was a 1.5 mile swim.  With all of the regrouping, visiting and joking (the water was very pleasant) I had us in the water for a total of 52 minutes.
