I was running late this morning so I was happy to hear voices on the beach as I headed down the stairs.

Laguna Mike and Mermaid Princess were chatting, but not really showing signs of getting in.  The cloudy sky kept the light dim.

After my burning cold loop around the rockpile yesterday, I was not super fired up about getting in the water, and really didn't feel like putting on my wetsuit.

To further cement my reluctance, I took the temperature and it went down, down, down to 44.8F.

To cut to the chase, Laguna Mike swam several pool-like laps skin, parallel to the shore, inside the rock piles.  MP swam laps nearly skin, perpendicular to the shore, out to just a bit outside the rock piles.  Though their paths crossed repeatedly, there were no crashes.  They called it quits at about the same time, and were probably in the water for 5-6 long, cold, badass minutes.

The sun never appeared today, but Mermaid Princess shared this freaky pic from yesterday morning:

This next pic, from today, further illustrates the roaming nature of the big white rocks.  A handful of them are starting to break away from the herd, and stealthily travel north underwater.
