Saturday morning at Avila Beach was lovely; clear, warm and a bit breezy

The water temperature was 58°F, the visibility was very good and there were not many shorebirds to be seen     

                                

 We had a nice group today including Alex, who was over here from Lancaster along with David, Leslie, Hillary, Niel, Theresa and Grace. We decided to swim over to the Cal Poly Pier in a roundabout way and shoot for about 2 miles.   

That is Leslie, David, Grace, Alex and Theresa getting in. 

I think that is Grace, Alex, Theresa \and Leslie at the first buoy.

Hillary was back after losing a fight with her truck and having to stay out for three weeks until the stitches were out. Working on big trucks is not for the meek.  

Here we are at the end of the Avila Pier heading for the third crossbars on the CP Pier.

A breeze out of the SW was starting to pick up and would soon change direction and mess with out swim.  

Alex, Grace, Theresa, Leslie and David at the CP Pier.

I caught everyone doing a goggle check. We swam from here to the end of the pier.

The wind had shifted to offshore and we had a nice one foot wind chop banging our heads for the 750M back to the Avila Pier.

A very nice group and swim today. I'll be back tomorrow at 9:30.
