I had a nice swim this morning. The overcast was high and thin with some sky showing through. It was 57° and still with glassy water that developed some character as the morning progressed. The tide was very low and a unusual amount of Avila Rock was above the water so l decided to do a lap around the rock and take a look. The water was 12.5°C/54.4°F.
The clouds and sky looked beautiful but the lighting was so dark and flat that it was extremely difficult to pick the rock out from the background. This is the east side of Avila Rock at 7:30. There was still no 'sunrise' to illuminate the rock and it blended into the hills. In order to navigate I had to stop swimming and really look in order to pick the rock of the background
I'll be out of town Wednesday through Sunday so my next swim will be on the 13th.
