Still Agitating, but on the Gentle Cycle + Ride the Circus Train TONIGHT!

Next Swims: M-F 6am and 6pm

Last Swim: Thursday 6am
Water: 57.9F
Clarity: still crap, but to be clear, there is no ACTUAL CRAP in the water
Waves: 1foot waves, becoming more like swells
Crew: Panini, Showgirl, Mike (Laguna?), and welcome to Elise (Mike's neighbor and speed-of-light swimmer), Diablo on the early shift
Skin/Suit:  2 / 3


It was sprinkling lightly this morning, but we're going to get wet anyway, amiright?

Morning swims are usually known for their calm, beautiful water, but this week has belied that.  Today's waves were smaller than yesterday, and acting more like swells, so that as you look towards shore, you feel like you're looking downhill. It's a fun, odd sensation.

Our new-ish swimmer Mike, reeled in his neighbor, Elise, so that this morning's swim was an unusual tribute to Team Estrogen-- more females than males

In spite of the less than optimum conditions, it was still an awesome swim.

I'll be riding the ghost train tonight, for sure. Eating a sundae, and hanging out on the Corner Bakery deck with my best bud Scoopy.

My vote for the weekend: Noon Saturday. 1 pm Sunday.

I have to swim early on Saturday, probably 11-12. I need to be on the road by 12:15. I’m good with any time on sunday.
And what’s wrong with crap in the water. As a retired Navy diver, there are many locations I had to work in where you could see the �� floating on the water.
