Fan-tastic! Once again we were treated to another day of delightful swimming conditions. The water at Klode was just a tad bit bit cooler than yesterday so we (Patriarch, Robin and I) once again ventured out clad in our wetsuits.
We soon found the water to be very comfortable with several pockets of warm water that tempted us to ditch our wetsuits. As with our past swims the clarity of the water was exceptional which allowed us to admire several schools of fish swimming along the bottom....as well as discover sunken treasure! (...but I'll leave that story for Joel to tell...)
We logged our farthest / longest swim of the season swimming along the shore past 'Three Piers' up to the second rock wall. (...approx. 1+ mile from Klode) Upon reaching the turn around point we found that we were not alone with this morning's swim adventure. Lounging around in the water at that point were 3 other swimmers...Reto, Joel and Chris...who had apparently ventured out just prior to our party. The water at the second rock wall was noticeably warmer than at Klode. Coincidence? ...sounds like a good time to derive one of our famous theories. :)
After exchanging a few hello's and realizing that neither crew had remembered to bring rum we decided to race back to Klode with the winner getting first crack at the Captn's stache of rum.....well, perhaps we never really negotiated the terms of the race but after witnessing how quickly Reto dropped us it was evident that he was very motivated by something.
The plan is to swim again from Klode at 6:30am. Any takers? The Patriarch and I will once again be there.
