Well, the red tide is lingering around. The water is still a light brown-it was all over today-not in patches. The water far out was a lighter brown and had a few warmer spots. I got there late afternoon, and there were about 2 dozen surfers on the south side of the pier. No waves breaking on the north side. I swam north to south-with the current these last two days. The water past the breakers was pretty flat for swimming. There was just a small chop. It got foggy at the end of the pier and thicker fog coming back in. I was cold and it was a slow-motion slog swimming back in with the cold draining the energy.
I see the big pelicans all over and they are something else; they fly above the water at 30-40 feet and just drop straight in when they see a fish, I suppose. They just nose-dive in there. Wonder how much they catch-or how often their dives come up with a fish?
My swim was forty minutes today (Monday). Water temp about 61.
