Ladies and gentlemen, please make sure your seat backs and tray tables are in their full upright position. Make sure your seat belt is securely fastened and all carry-on luggage is stowed underneath the seat in front of you or in the overhead bins....

The word POOL was mentioned, but all it takes is one leader (Mermaid Princess!) and we were at the beach.

The waves were biggish.  The rain was steady.  

We left our gear under the overhang, and scampered into the water.  At first we were just going to frolic.  Once outside the rock piles, TTL suggested swimming north for a bit.  And thus, we went to sewer pipe, then garage.  MP and TTL proceeded to the birches.

All the while, the rain continued.  

I love swimming in the rain.

Before the swim, the air felt chilly.  After,  it felt delightful.

We recombobulated under the shelter (of whatever that structure is), and headed up the ramp.

Hear hear (or is it here here?!) for swimming in the rain! Especially in warm water what a joy.

So the turbulence continued into Tuesday evening! Itch and I and later Bakhtiari enjoyed some 3 footers breaking hard with some random much bigger ones thrown in the mix. One tossed me ass over and knocked my goggles off my eyes!! Water was pretty darn clean and wonderfully warm still. A roller coaster kind of night! But out past where they were (mostly) breaking was better swimming. Plan your exit well in these conditions :D
