Swim on base at Camp Pendleton Friday





There were three of us at the beach Friday afternoon. The water was very choppy and it started out with small 2-3 foot waves. After an hour and a half the waves got bigger and the roughness of the water increased. Since it was on base, the lifeguards don't allow swimmers out far when there is a sizeable crowd on the beach. Safety first! We were still in the surf zone and a young lifeguard swam out to us to make sure that we were ok. He asked us to stay closer in - those were his guidelines from above. Anyway, we got in the water, which is always good. We did more talking than swimming. Here are a few pictures. Who is that old, fat gut? Oh, dammit, it's me!
I caught a quick glimpse of two large dolphins heading north about a hundred yards out. This was my first dolphin sighting of the year. The water was warm, so maybe that brought them back...
