Jodi's 'T' Route -
Jodi selected today's route. It was T shaped and a first swim of this route for both of us.
It was a great morning for a swim, but we got in later than usual because I first needed to collect water samples from San Luis Creek for bacterial and DNA testing water sampling. Jodi had some flex in her schedule and wanted to join me. We got in close about 7:50. It was 60° with a light offshore breeze with flat water and 3 to 4 foot waves. My thermometer says the water temp was 55° but both of us thought it was lower. It did not feel like winter when we were at the showers.
This was a fun route, from the end of the Avila Pier to Fossil Point and the other way to the third crossbars on the Poly Pier and back. This could also be called a Flat Martini Swim. (A full Martini Swim is the 2.4 miles that connect the end of the Avila Pier with the rock off of Fossil Point and the end of the Poly Pier).

The group swim will be at 7:30 on Saturday.
Friday is Jodi's birthday so I'll be bringing treats to aid in post swim recovery. The big surf is expected on Sunday so we should be fine on Saturday.
12/13 was Jodi's 5th anniversary swimming with the Avila Dolphins. The last five years would have be less fun without her.
