I waded in at 6:45. The sun was already above Fossil Point and it was clear and sunny. There was a light wind and the water was rippled, the surf was 2 foot except for an occasional 3 footer. There had been a minus tide at 6:09 so there was acers of beach to cross before I got to the water and the waves were starting to break out at the buoy line.  The air temperature was 47° and the water was 52°. 

I swam a Yo-yo today. This variation began at the end of the Avila Pier. I began with the 4th buoy and swam from he end of the pier to the buoy and back and then did the the shorter legs for #3 to #1 and finished up swimming from the end of the pier in to the beach. I like swimming the longest leg first.

Returning to the end of the Avila Pier for the first time the haze on the horizon in the top photo had become a solid fog bank that was in close and moving onshore. It looked like I might finish my swim in the fog but it moved back out and over towards the port so I got to finish and shower in the sunshine. 

I'll swim Thursday morning at 7.
