Arrg...it be talk like a pirate day...and ta' celebrate The Patriarch and I logged yet another double dipper day! With echo's still a rumblin' round in our heads of be'in considered yellow bellied we were on a bit of a mission today. Me only remark is that the comment is a bunch of poppycock...but I'll save the rest of me rant fer another time as I can tell this topic still makes The Patriarch's whiskers twitch.
The water temps today were in the mid 60's for this morning's swim and a tad bit cooler (low 60's?) this evening. Certainly more than warm enough for us to support swimming without a wetsuit. The skies were clear and the sunshine was plentiful. Morning air temp was around 60 while the evening was in the mid 70's....although a light easterly breeze made the afternoon temp feel a bit cooler. The water was a bit cloudy but the color remained exceptionally enticing as always.
This morning's swim adventure took us from South beach down to the sewer pipe and back. Approximate swim time was about 30 minutes and total distance covered was on the plus side of 3/4 of a mile. The current and rolling waves were pushing up from the south which made the return trip this morning a breeze.
The motivation for this evening's swim was a bit elusive....addiction, ego, insanity or perhaps just because we could...regardless, we took the plunge around 5pm and swam for about 15 minutes. The voyage took us north from north beach up to the garage and back. The waves last weekend have apparently enhanced the size and width of the sandbars so our route took us out quite a bit from shore....or perhaps it took me quite a bit from shore due to an impairment of my navigational skills from recent consumptions of rum.
The Patriarch and I once again plan to continue our Klode beach swim adventures this weekend. Our current plan is:
Saturday: 1pm Klode
Sunday: 12pm Klode
If there's a time that works better for you please comment.
Hope to see you on the beach!
