61° Water!
The weather today was quite a bit different than yesterday. At 10:30 Avila had heavy fog or overcast. The air temperature was 66°, there was a wind out of the west and I measured water temperature of 16°C/60.8°F. It was 56° last Tuesday. 61°is as warm as the water had been all summer.
Peter Kelley stopped by and he is of the opinion that the predicted Super El Nino will mean warm water temperatures all winter. We can only wait as see.
Duke, Pat, Niel and Jim swam today at 11. Duke does his own route while Pat, Niel and Jim set out to do a east side version of the Yo-Yo route that I did on the west side last Thursday.
There was an occasional 3 foot wave and a very small chop. There was a swell out of the SW that I had to push into when heading to towards the end of the Avila Pier.
I didn't stop for any photos today.
Afterwards during lunch we had a pod of dolphins swim west parallel to shore between the buoy line and the end of the pier. Then we had a pod of whales a good ways out headed in the same direction.
Tom Lorish swam at San Semeion Cove and said that it was nice.
I'll swim on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 7
