Today's water report: Smooth swimming with a swell to ride over, no visual of plankton but there was still an unpleasant taste to the water. The wind was getting gusty.  Tom' toes reported 50° water yesterday, this morning I measured 49° with some colder spots near the piers. Close to shore the waves were 2 to 3+ foot and weak.   

I was on a swimming mission this morning and did the distance with no stops until I was back at my starting point at the first buoy.

There were beautiful rills in the sand this morning. 

Rills are created when water that is beneath the 

sand comes to the surface and flows down the sand

I'll swim Saturday at 7 with Jodi and Tom I. and Sunday at 11 with whoever else shows up.
