What a beautiful morning at Avila Beach! It was sunny and calm, 46° but warming up nicely.  52.5° water with small surf and an almost glassy surface. Beautiful swimming conditions. 



I decided to do a nice relaxing loop out and around the reef buoy and the Cal Poly Pier but the Big Pool had other plans for me.  

This was my brain wading in. So calm and relaxing, 
except for the water temperature.

This is my brain at the end of the Cal Poly pier after the slog to arrive here from the reef buoy.
It had become almost as bumpy as last Saturday. Somebody must have taken out the lane lines! The swim in along the pier and back to the Avila Pier was not much flatter. 

Tom had done a triangle around the Avila Pier and got good and cold.

After swimming Tom and Niel met up with Duke up on the bluffs to enjoy each others company and get caught up.  Duke is on the Temporary Injured Reserve List while he deals with some back problems that has him out of the water and off of the bike so we have not seen him at the beach for a while. We are looking forward to seeing him back on the sand after he is done helping his doctor's pay their kids college tuitions.

I'll be back Thursday morning at about 8:45.
