I had some Surfrider water quality testing to do this morning and didn't in until 8. Conditions were as they have been; 55°, calm and gray with flat, 57° water.  I bumped into Jim as I was heading to the water. We got in at the same time but did our own swims. We crossed paths once near the mouth of San Luis Obispo Creek.       

I had a good swim and made my goal of 5000M for today's distance. I'll do about 4K on Thursday, 5K yards or meters, whichever the group wants to do, on Friday's 7AM holiday swim, and 4K on Saturday. I'm taking Sunday off from swimming to work a Surfrider post holiday beach clean up at Avila. 

At the showers is ran into Bryan. He lives and swims in Ventura but has family here. It has been a number of years since we last met at Avila. He says ocean swimming has been the best thing for the recovery of his shoulder after rotator cuff surgery.
