Jodi Puts Up A New Route, The Jodi 'J' - 

Jodi suggested a new route today; a 'J' for Jodi.

We'd swim out to the #1 buoy, swim under the pier and to the third buoy on the west side, hook left around an anchored catamaran to make the loop and to the end of the Avila Pier. From there to Fossil Point and then double back along our route. It worked out pretty well. 

Jodi and Tom swam together so their plots are very similar, I'm off the back so my plot is a bit different and I have the accuracy of my app on maximum, which makes it twitchy. 

It was cold today. The air temperature was 52°, there was thick overcast and a light wind. The surf was 2 to 3 foot. I measured a water temperature of 52° from the pier. The lack of sunshine made it swim like a weak 51°. The water temperature was a bit 'warmer' near Fossil Point but it didn't feel like it until we swam into the drop on the way back to the pier.

Jim was out there ahead of us swimming back and fourth along the buoys. We met up as we were headed out and he was coming in.  He said that there were no warm spots in the water today and he was right.

I'll swim tomorrow at 11. Kurtis, Paula and Ilene may join me.  There should be some sunshine.
