Swimming In The Rain - A Sure Sign of Fall

Light rain was predicted for today and that is what we had this morning at Avila Beach. It was just misting before we got in but rained on the second half of our swim.
It was Jodi and I this morning. It was 59° with a lid of gray clouds, small waves, a slight swell, no wind and 56° - 57° water. 

Jodi was very surprised to open up the back of her car and not see her swim bag. She had her wetsuit and parka and I had goggles and two caps to loan so she could swim. She had to go without her earplugs and neck gaiter and drove home with her parka over her wetsuit.   

Jodi picked our five legged route which started with the 1100M from the beach to the end of the Poly Pier. Then in along the pier to the second crossbars, over to the end of the Avila Pier, to the last buoy on the east side and back to the Avila Pier for 3,408M.

Jodi and Niel at the end of the Avila Pier. 
Not much in the way of conditions to comment on today. 

We saw Paula and a friend getting in as we were ready to leave. 

I'll swim tomorrow at 11. 
The weather should be clearing at about that time so maybe we'll get some sun.
