 Clouds Turn to Sunshine -

As I was getting in the clouds opened up and it became a nice summer day.  At 11 o'clock it was 62° and I had measured a water temp of 58° off of the Avila Pier. The water between the Avila and Poly Piers was about 60°. There was a slight wind with 2 foot surf with an occasional pair of 3 footers. The water is unusually clean and tasted a extra salty.  I felt like swimming for about an hour so I took a route that would be about 2,200M. 

I didn't see anything or anyone else out there.  

After it had cleared Pismo was still fogged in. In the photo I think the darker line of cloud above the white fog is smoke from the Gifford Fire.

When I got out Peter Kelley was waiting for me. We haven't spoken in some time so we did some catching up. He is swimming in a pool and has lost 35 pounds and looks good.

This coming week I will be on my regular schedule; swimming at 7 on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and at 11 on Sunday.
