Tom Lorish's Monday Swim -
Heavy marine layer, 56° air temperature, glassy calm water. That was Avila at 915 AM. There was a 3–4 foot wave rolling in and several squadrons of pelicans hanging out by the rock buoy. The water was 56 degrees, clear and pristine, but there was a curious band of lime green on the west side. I don't recall seeing that particular shade of water before, but it no doubt has to do with the marine layer, the way light refracts and what's beneath the surface of the water. It was a good Monday morning vitamin.

I went out this morning and it was very very green. Reminded me of pictures of the Chicago River on St. Patrick's day. I went in anyway, but cut is short. I hope it clears up for your swim tomorrow.
