Our new swimming friends



There was a break in the typhoon action this morning, and four of us took advantage of it.  Diablo was rolling out as I arrived, Magic Mike was already on the beach, and Panini and Mr. A arrived moments later.

It was another super sunny morning.  The beach has been remodeled yet again.  There's a gigantic tree parallel with the shoreline, and the drop-off in the water is a bit farther out.  

Panini wanted to know the water temperature RIGHT NOW, so I gave her my thermometer.  After screaming about how cold the water was on her feet, and spending about 17 seconds with the sensor in 2 inches of water, she announced the temperature was 57.

Hahahaha.

I said, "it takes longer than that." After more time spent, she said it was 47, which is probably more realistic.

Anyway, Mr. A wins the badass of the day award for swimming to garage in only his capri-pants.  MM went longer, and I went to the kayak, which is farther than I expected to go.

On the way to the ramp, there was a duck pair lounging on the cement steps.  As we got closer they snubbed us and made their way to the big puddle.
