A Super Sunday -
There was early fog but it cleared by 11. The air and water temperatures were 63° thanks to yesterdays summer monsoon weather! The surf was one foot, the water was clear, with some cormorants but no bait fish activity. The wind that had blown the fog away was going to put some chop on the water.
Paula and Eileen got in around 8 and had finished their 5K swim when I was arriving. They were all smiles and said that there were 'millions' of Vela-Vela near the end of the Poly Pier.
It was Tom Israel and myself today. We decided to go the other way and swim to the Avila Rock.
The chop was waiting for us when we cleared the end of the Avila Pier and we would be heading across it on the way to the Avila Rock. It was a bunch of extra work but had a predictable tempo so we just slogged along. It was beautiful at the Avila Rock with sunny skis and warm water.

Tom suggested that instead of returning the way we had come we should swim in towards the 4th buoy on the east side of the Avila Pier. I was already thinking about doing that because it would be easier than the way we had come.
Next week I'll be swimming at 7 on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and at 11 on Sunday.
