The weather at Avila is such that I could use one of Tom's recent posts for my swim this morning;
At 7AM this morning the fog in Avila was thick. I got in at 7:20 and planned on swimming buoy to buoy unless the end of the Avila Pier was visible. The water felt much colder than last weekend. I measured a water temp of 55°, with the lack of sun it felt like 54°.
I was just past the second buoy when I saw Jim swimming towards me. I have not seen him at the beach for several weeks. He was finishing up his swim. He had been expecting a water temp around 60°. He will join Jodi and I on Saturday.
At the end of the Avila Pier I meet Edward. He was headed back the way I had come. There was nothing to see looking towards where the last buoy would be, so he would swim in that direction and correct his line when he got close enough to see the beach.
I had to do the same on my way back to the 4th buoy which is how I wound up going around the kelp at the reef buoy.
Jeff (Geoff?) and I will swim on Sunday at 11. I could use some fast swimmers to join us and keep pace with Geoff.
