It was gray and calm at Avila Beach this morning but the came out just as we were getting into the water. Niel, Rick, Jon Harmse, Duke and Eric had a route of about a mile planned. There water temperature was 62. There were a lot of kelpy bits and a seal or two in the water and a few pelicans but it was pretty empty. We planned to go to the end of the Avila Pier, over to our usual spot at the cross bracing that is a third of the way along the Poly Pier and back to the beach. On the leg to the Poly Pier Eric and I were to the left of Jon, Rick and Duke. This was Eric's second ocean swim with us and he made the simple mistake of picking up the wrong set of cross bracing on one of his siting and heading for a spot farther left along the pier. I swung over to pick him up and both groups started back to the beach at the same time. Once we were back on the beach Duke and Angela went out for a swim along the buoy line. Rhonda joined us for the post swim bench racing. (Any car people out there remember that term? What's the multi-sport equivalent?)
I'll be back Wednesday. Gott'a go ahead and get more spoiled by this warm water while it lasts.
