Saturday, November 27th, 2021

 

Saturday morning was clear and calm at Avila Beach, a beautiful fall morning. The air temp was 38° but the sun already felt nice. There was no wind but a group of swells from the SW to the SE made a messy but easily swimmable surface. There was an occasional 3+ foot wave. The water temperature was 55°but the low air temperature made it feel colder. 

It was a very busy swimming day at Avila. I saw two women, one possibly Paula, getting in as I was walking out along the pier and another two women who I did not recognise getting in as I walked back. Tom and Sue got in about 9 and swam out around the Avila Rock. At the same time there were two more swimmers en route to the end of the Cal Poly Pier. A lot of people besides me must have gone for that second piece of pie! 


Niel, Roshana, Stephanie, Jodi and Leslie getting in. 


We started down the buoy line and then swam to the end of the Avila Pier. From there we decided to go to the second crossbars on the Cal Poly Pier, to the last buoy in the line on the west side of the Avila Pier, return to the end of the pier and come in.   


Roshana, Stephanie and Jodi at the second crossbars.

Leslie at the same spot.

A decision is made to go to the last buoy on the west side of the Avila Pier.

Dukie and I will swim at 11 on Sunday.

Gear Report - Jodi has a new wetsuit from Synergy. It is a tri suit but I don't know which model. She is not happy with the lack of warmth and is going to look at the Orca Openwater RS1 Thermal.
