Today was a great day at the beach! The water was flat and glassy with nice waves for the surfers to ride. Before I got in I saw some big fish jumping around about 75 yards offshore so I watched for a few minutes. It turned out it was 2 big dolphins playing. Then they swam in and they both rode a nice wave side by side together very close to a surfer-about 6-8 feet away from the surfer. The surfer didn't move at all. Then the dolphins disappeared and I watched but they didn't show again.
I went in and did my swim. No current, visibility about 7 feet, beautiful water. It was cold and I swam fast for me to keep the blood flowing. My time was 33 minutes 47 seconds. Good for me. There were 3 guys in a small boat out there past the pier that I waved "Hi" to. They were probably wondering what I was doing in that water in my bathing suit. I wonder that too sometimes. But it feels good after.

It can be a little scarey when surfing and all of sudden you see dolphin swimming around. Everyone is a little jumpy because of Sharks. Its always a relief once the surfers know its dolphins swimming around instead of sharks.
