It was another beautiful morning at Avila Beach. We had decided to get in at 7:30. It was 39°, clear and sunny with a light offshore breeze. There were sets of 3 to 4 foot waves but there were big gaps between the sets. I'd guess the water temperature was 49° - 50° with a colder spot at the end of the Avila Pier and a big drop around the #4 buoy near the mouth of San Luis Creek.
NIel, Jodi, Tom Israel and Paula were joined by Andrew, who was visiting from Alameda. Wayne, who is from Seattle, was there and swam the buoy line.
Andrew would swim bareback. We did Tom Lorish's Fog Route because if would have plenty opportunities for people to do swims of different lengths.

There was no swell, just the micro wind chop.

We began by swimming along the buoy line on the east side of the pier from the #1 to #4 and back along the line to #1. Then out and back along the pier to #1 on the west side. Paula and Andrew went in from there. Jodi, Tom and I swam west to the #4 buoy, back to #1, around the pier and in.
I'll swim tomorrow at 11.
