This amazing photo was taken by Marian the Librarian on Sunday afternoon.  She bravely encapsulated her phone in a little dry-bag inside her swim buoy, bravely took it out while we frolicked in the waves around the garage, and took a few pics.  As usual, this photo does not adequately capture how wavy it was.

But back to the present moment...  morning and afternoon swims have been continuing, if somewhat intermittently. 

Today we met in the parking lot at 6:30am.  The general consensus was that none of us had ever been on the beach at that level of darkness.

Yes it was dark, but it was also bizarrely warm, and that warm air coaxed us into the 58 degree water.  There was just the tiniest hint of light on the southern horizon, and it felt like we were leaving it behind as we headed north.

We swam with the swells and there was a delightful push.

MJ and I turned around at the rock wall, TTL continued further.

We were about at the garage on our return trip when we stopped to watch the sun rise.  The swells were big enough that the sun would appear/disappear/appear/disappear until it finally achieved permanence.

Today.... it's pretty dark at 6:30am

And then... not quite as dark.

My new beach blanket, obvi.
