Niel, Tom and Hillary swam around the Avila Rock this AM. At 7 Avila Beach was sunny, 49°, clear and calm. The surf was 2 to 3 foot and the water was 57°.
The rain on Thursday had dirtied up San Luis Creek a bit so we headed away from the creek and swam to Avila Rock.

The tide was very low and the kelp was spread out over a wide area so we swam well to the south of the Avila Rock. Instead of returning the way we had come we looped around the rock and swam through the kelp to Fossil Point and back along the buoy line. We gave the otters that were hanging in the kelp plenty of room.

When we got back to the #1 buoy Hillary did an additional triangle while Tom and I headed in.
We had an after the swim party at Hillary's van. She brewed coffee from fresh ground beans to go with the the chocolate chip protein muffins I'd made.
I will swim on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 7 this coming week.
