If you want to swim at a different time, post a comment, and maybe someone will respond.

Water temp: a disappointing and shocking 50.something, per TTL

Air temp: 80-ish

Kru: Lydia the Tattooed Lady, , Showgirl, Dragonfly, Diablo on the early shift

Waves:  the slowest of slow rollers out of the south, with little ruffles from the wind on the return trip

Water:  clear!

Beach Air: the gobie smell is beginning to dissipate

Well here you have it.

Diablo was just leaving as we arrived at the beach, and he gave a THUMBS DOWN!  It has to be bad for that to happen.

TTL took the temp and it was barely above 50F.  This is disappointing to say the least. 

All other conditions were lovely, so we suited up, barely able to pull the neoprene over our sweaty bodies, and got in.  And then we walked the half a block to get outside the rock piles.

It was bracing to put our faces in the water, to say the least.  But you could also feel the warm air with every stroke.

Anyway, given our initial reluctance, it was an accomplishment to swim past the garage to the clearing of trees.    I looked at TTL, and her face was as pink as her cap.

On the return trip, we swam over a cool new sub-ma-tree (submerged tree) just north of the garage.

After the swim we agreed that the cold water became oddly exhilarating, and that our chilled skin felt amazing after the last few days of heat.
