 It was Jodi, Jacki, NIel and Tom in the water at Avila Beach this morning. Jacki had not been in for quite a few weeks and swam along the 'buoy line'. Niel and Jodi swam out to the end of the CP Pier, to the second crossbars, over to the end of the Avila Pier, hooked around the reef buoy and came back to our starting point. Tom and I met as he was just starting out down the 'buoy line' to do the route I did Thursday, so we will have close to the same distance today.    

It was sunny and clear with the offshore breeze just starting up. The water was nice and clear with an occasional 2 to 3 foot wave. At 8 o'clock the air temperature was 38° and warming up. The water temperature was 54°, swam more like 53°, except there were some cold spots that got my attention.

Jodi and I will swim tomorrow morning at 8AM. Other early birds and anyone who hasn't gone to bed yet is welcome.  We'll probably go a bit shorter than today as we both have things to do later in the morning. 

Duke, David Cheney and Pat (?) will swim at our usual time of 11.
