Niel's Tuesday Swim Report -
I played hide and seek with the fog this morning. On the drive to Avila the fog was dense but Avila Beach was in a hole of good visability with the Poly Pier and the Avila Rock both in clear site. During my swim the fog closed in to where at one point I was swimming with nothing to see of the shore finding my way to the somewhat darker shadow of Fossil Point in the solid gray. The photo below was taken after I got out when the visability had improved considerably.
The air temperature was 51° and I measured a water temperature of 58°. There was enough wind to lump up the surface of the water. Tom and I have been going back and forth about how the water has felt colder than my thermometer says. We both have felt good at the start but gotten cold later in the swim. This morning I started out feeling fine, got colder at half way and then felt warmer for the last third. If that was all in my head I wnat to figure out how to make that ahppen. I'll swim at 7:30 or 8 on Thursday, unless the experdicted showers turn into a real dump that makes me think aobut bacteria and sitting out.
