We had a big crowd and decent conditions today. It was overcast and calm, the water was 54 degrees. The surf was small and there was no chop. I saw one seal in the water, no birds or baitfish. The only concern was that the yacht club was setting out their buoys and gear for a race. By the time we were close to getting in there were numerous sailboats gathered around the ocean end of the Avila Pier, so, today's swim would be along the buoy line. Swimming today were Niel, Sylvia, Duke, Brad, Leslie, Tom, John Hampsey,Dave VanMouwerik and new swimmers; John, Gerald and Riley. They are actually all very good swimmers, John and Gerald are on the Cal Poly tri team, this is just the first time that they have come out with us. We went out, formed up at the buoy line and headed east along the buoys. At the last buoy we continued parallel to the beach until we were close to the rocks at Fossil Point. We doubled back to the pier, went under and to the last buoy on that side off of the mouth of San Luis Obispo Creek. We doubled back along our path one again under the pier to our starting point. We covered 1.23 miles in 40 minutes. I left the beach about 1:30 and the sun still had not managed to break through.
