It was sunny, breezy and very uncrowded at Avila Beach today. There seemed to be almost no one else on the beach on this beautiful September day. The water was 57 degrees and choppy due to a steady westerly breeze. There was a yacht race under way with numerous boats maneuvering near the end of the Avila Pier so our route would stay close to the beach today. Swimming today were Sylvia, Gerry Gross, Niel, Brad, Fred, Rick, John H., John and Hank. Rob was here but was going to fool around in the surf with his hand plane. Sylvia and Gerry swam their own route. The rest of us swam the east side of the buoy line down to Fossil Point and back. We covered 1547 meters/ .96 mile and spent 38 minutes in the water. John H. and Fred continued on and added part of the buoy line of the west side of the pier.
There will be days, probably early next year, when we will wish the water was 57 degrees, but for now it is a matter of getting used to falling temperatures and cooler days.
I wonder if we will see any water temperatures in the 40's this winter?
