A Better Sombrero Swim -

We did this route for the first time a few weeks ago. This time we modified the route to make the 'crown' wider to improve the outline.

In the water today were Nicole, Duke, Rick, Doug Parrish (welcome back!, we have not seen Doug in a long time), Peter, Tom, Niel and Sylvia AND Mark and his SUP to keep us company and visible to errant personal watercraft.

Sylvia and Peter did their own swims while the rest of the group attempted to be graphically creative.  The conditions were gray skies, no wind, 57 degree water, small surf and flat water.

Getting In: Peter, Nicole, Duke, Doug, Rick and Sylvia (behind Rick)

Proposed 4th of July Swim - 

The 4th is on a Monday. If we can find sufficient support we will do the 3 mile swim from Avila Beach to Pirate's Cove and back. Here is the plot from the  last time we did this swim, on July 4, 2013.

Mark and his SUP should be available. We need at least two more support people. Kayaks, paddleboard or SUP. If you are interested in supporting this swim contact Duke or myself or respond to the blog.
