Even Warmer Than Yesterday -
At 8 this morning the water temperature in Avila Beach was 68°+, there was a very high tide and the largest waves that I have seen since last winter. The biggest waves were 5 footers. Hillary and I made getting out look easy. The waves laid down just as we were waded in so we walked out, swam over the crest of one big one and on out to the buoy line. We felt pretty Pro.
We swam east, buoy to buoy, to #4. The water was dark and had a nasty chemical smell and taste. From #4 we headed to the end of the Avila Pier to try and get out of the funk.
The end of the Avila Pier was clean so we swam to #2 crossbars on the Poly Pier, to the end and back to the end of the Avila Pier.
Here we ran into two groups of guys doing their swimming qualification for Cal Fire. We came in with them along the west side of the pier. The tide had turned while we were swimming and the surf was flattening out so getting in was simple.
Niel and Hillary at the end of the Poly Pier.
There was no sun so from here we felt our way over towards the end of the Avila Pier until the pier could be seen in the fog.
Hillary and I and whoever else wants to jump in will swim at 7 on Saturday.

Look at that smile!!!!!!! Reminds me of someone else’s smile by a buoy on a calm day Does that underage girl who was training to be a lifeguard still show up? Remember all the older guys who would follow her to the showers and film her getting out of her wetsuit? I had to remind them she was 17. You’d think the swim team captain niel would have protected his swimmers better but no. He’s too busy building his blog Say hi to Kris for us !!
Tiki. That was her name. Remember she was so cute and friendly and all the men drooled over her. Remember the crowds we had to push thru at the shower to get to them after we’d get out of the water and she would be getting dried off at the shower and they’d all be filming her. ? I told her dad that. Remember?
It’s too bad the guys don’t have our backs
