There's supposed to be some rain coming tonight so I got my swim in after work today (Wednesday). I don't want to take a chance that the rain may be heavy and the water might be dirty for a few days. The sky was cloudy with blue spots and even sunshine breaking through before my swim. By the time I was out the sky had changed with dark cluds blowing in from the west. The waves were small initially, 1-2 feet, with a flat ocean. I wore my fins because I wanted to take it easy. I did a 30 minute swim and enjoyed it. It was face-hurting cold getting in, but it warmed up farther out. In one of my pictures you may be able to see a car on the pier. Somebody must not have known that you don't drive your car on the pier. (Real tough to figure that out). The cops were sorting that out a while later after the car made it's way back in.
Some rain drops fell on the drive home so I guess I had the right idea. I am covered for the streak for the week.
There was one other guy swimming around a bit on the south side who I saw after I exited the water. I have seen this guy before. He swims a little, and just lazes and floats around in the freezing water near the surfers and just out past them. He's got his own program going. Good for him. I need to be moving to keep the body working in the cold water. Surfline.com has the temp today as 58-60.
