Jodi, Tom Israel and Niel didn't plan on doing a Martini Swim today but the swimming conditions were so nice we changed our route after we were at the Avila Rock.
At 7:30 the air and water temperatures were 54°. It was overcast and very calm with a glassy ocean, a small swell and small waves. Outside the buoy line the water was 54°, it was colder near the beach and 52° +/- between the Avila and Poly Piers. Clean water everywhere. I didn't see any seals and few birds.
The swim out to the Avila Rock was so nice that when we grouped up at the rock we were all thinking of doing a Martini Swim instead of heading back to the Avila Pier.

After 1:49 in the water we're back on the beach.
Some sunshine would have been nice to help us warm up at the showers but the swimming was wonderful.
It is Kris's birthday tomorrow so I'll not be swimming until Tuesday.
