No pictures, sorry. The algae water was light brown today. I thought that it would be cleaner but it's hanging on. Chilly water. I stopped briefly about 60 yards off the end of the pier at 21 minutes. There was a mild current running south. Surprise-I saw a guy-a swimmer in a wet suit swimming around the pier. He was right next to the pier-way too close. He must have gotten in after me. I didn't see him after that. I guess he was fast and got in quickly and left.
The water was a bit choppy out far, and swimming in was against the sideways flow of the chop.
Not too much to say about the water/swim today. As I was walking across the sand geting ready to enter the water, a Dad with a young boy said to me, "This is golden. This is too good to be true. This is great." He and his boy had been enjoying the water. I agreed with him, of course. Nice to see a good Dad having fun with his boy and loving the beach. And the water was pretty chilly too. I guess Dad and son were tough.
My time was 38 minutes-four minutes slower than yesterday. Interesting. It was the chop. I felt good-no pains, good wind, plenty of energy left. Maybe I will do that Tiki Swim this Sunday??
