Small waves were gently rolling in this morning and the water was definitely warmer than yesterday morning...but according to The Patriarch it wasn't as warm as it was last night. Perhaps the result of the cooler overnight temps?
Not only have the waves apparently brought us warmer water temps but they have also deposited patches of seaweeds along the shore. These patches were definitely avoidable although we found the clearer sections of shoreline to be rockier as you entered the water. Coincidence? Not sure, but we opted to enter through the seaweed covered sand rather than torture our feet.
Four of us (John, Robin, the Patriarch and myself) swam out to the rock wall and back this morning, clad once again in wetsuits. We were tempted to start without wetsuits...well, actually only the Patriarch and I were tempted...but felt that the water temp was a little too cool for a mile swim. Probably a good call but determined as we are to swim without our wetsuits we decided to ditch our wetsuits after returning from the rock wall and swam around the Klode bay for 10 minutes before deciding to head back in. ...it's amazing how your body becomes acclimated to the water conditions once your get moving.
Water clarity near shore was cloudy (1-2 feet) although farther from shore (50 meters) you could occasionally see the bottom (20-30 feet).
Plan is to swim again Wednesday morning at 6:30am.
