This doesn't suck.

It was an amazing swim this morning. When we arrived, the sun was still below the cloudy horizon, and the water was flat as glass.

We were a bit trepidatious (spellcheck doesn't like that word, but dictionary.com tells me it's real) after TattooLady took her new thermometer for it's maiden voyage and told us.... 58.  Post-swim we all agreed that it felt warmer further out.

Linda wisely requested a north-bound swim, in case anyone got cold enough to want to walk home.

And so... her words kept me swimming all the way to Mudslide this morning.  As my toes started doing their cold-toe thing, I thought, "just keep going because you can get out if you want."  

The sun made it's big red beautiful appearance about as we got to Mudslide, and then retired behind the clouds for the rest of the time.

It was so amazingly flat that the group of swimmers stayed in sight pretty much the entire swim. We all agreed that felt unusual. 

Back on the beach we shared what we've been watching lately.  Lt MJ confessed to watching "Top Gun" with her son (hellooo Rick Rossovich!) and I... admitted to re-watching the entire "Twilight" series.  Don't judge.

It's refreshing to know that someone else appreciated "Slider" - he's got it all over Maverick.
