I like the beaches and Pier in Oceanside, CA. I like to be out past the breakers year-round when my abilities permit.

Time Change Swim After Work
Neat, rough swim after work today (Monday). The time changed, so it got dark early. I got in at 4:30 PM and as I rounded past the end of the pier the sun hit the horizon. I could see the moon behind me when I breathed to the right, and the setting sun when I breathed to the left.
The water was rough with a one-foot chop at least, but nowhere near yesterday's rodeo swim. I swam south to north and was heading into a mild north to south current. I swam in while it was getting dark-always a good motivator to swim fast. The trip was 38 minutes-the current took some extra time.
The pictures show the before and after with the darkness after I finished. I think that this will be the earliest that the sun will set now so I can look forward to the sun setting a bit later week by week.
