Thursday, June 15th, 2023

Conditions were better today compared to Tuesday, the water was a bit warmer and while still brown and funky, there were no spots where the plankton became so thick that it was like swimming in soup.
At 7 Avila was still gray and 59° with flat 56° water, small waves and no wind.  

I swam on the west side of the pier today and did the same back and forth between each swim buoy and the end of the Avila Pier that I did on the east side Tuesday. Todays swim came out 200M shorter. For some reason the distances on the west side has always seemed shorter than on the east side.  
The Army Core of Engineer's has begun the second phase of the repair work on the Port San Luis breakwater. Their big derrick is in place at the breakwater and there was a barge of new breakwater material anchored off of Avila Beach. I learned that these boulders come from a quarry on Catalina Island.

I'll swim Saturday at 7 and Sunday at 11.
