Mark is tapering for his first Olympic distance tri this weekend in San Diego so he wanted to swim just the left side of the buoy line. He got a bit more than he planned. There was a steady east blowing parallel to the beach that created a strong current and chop. The water was a welcome 65 degrees so we had nice conditions to work in. Heading upwind was a real slog. The return trip was faster but still very bumpy.
Good luck to Mark next weekend AND
a high five and good luck to Sylvia Glenn. She is part of a women's relay team that is the first to attempt the Anacapa Channel crossing.
Destination: Anacapa Island to Silverstrand Beach, 12.5, or more, miles
First women's relay to swim a SBCSA channel, in addition to
60+ Hot Mermaid-Babes! no little old ladies allowed (Sylvia is 77!)
Jump off time is scheduled for 2:00 AM, Friday, September 19th.
