The water today was 58 degrees, but was going to feel more like 56 because of the thick layer of gray clouds. There was a little bit of wind but the water was pretty flat with small surf and an occasional 2 to 3' wave. On the beach today were Niel, Brad, Duke, Rob, Sylvia and Yvonne. We began thinking that we were going to swim the triangle but things got rearranged when we started entering the water. Duke and I headed out to the buoy line. Sylvia decided to sit out. Yvonne got in late and swam part of the buoy line. Rob decided to play in the surf with his newest handplane and Brad, who had not brought a wetsuit and was punched from some long workouts, decided to just wade in the water and ice his legs. When Duke and I got to the end of the buoy line we decided to just continue straight towards Fossil Point and do an mile +/- parallel to the beach. Things got a bit bouncy and swelly as we neared the point and when we stopped we found that the sun was coming out, the wind had come up and that we would be swimming into a wind chop out of the SW on the way back. The chop was not hard to swim into and we picked up Rob as we got back into the surf line. Once the sun was out it was a perfect day at the beach; sunny, warm but not hot and only a light breeze.
