This morning we had more of this summers best swimming conditions. It was 56° in Avila Beach and overcast with no wind for a flat and glassy water surface, small surf, and no swells. The water temperature was 59° and it was nice and clean.
Tom Israel was in the bay area and Jodi is still in Greece, so it was Paula and I this morning.
We were both feeling like doing about 2000M. There were three men at the barricade on the pier with 11 fishing lines in the water, so we got in on the west side and swam out well away from the pier. We swam down the buoy line and to the number 2 and 3 crossbars on the Poly Pier, back to the end of the Avila Pier and in. The water felt really nice this morning.
That's Niel, Paula and over on the right a Great Blue Heron perched on a crossbar.
Before we got in we had a surprise visit from Rob Dumouchel, Avila Dolphin, currently residing in Juneau, Alaska, and the only person I know of to have swum from Avila to the Pismo Pier on January first, bareback, in 51° water, and into a storm, so it took him an additional hour.
I'll swim tomorrow at 11, company welcome.
I will be out of town on Tuesday but I will swim on Thursday and Saturday at 7.
