Around the Pier. Making Progress.

Look at these beautiful pictures.  Pretty waves-about 2 feet, good shape, just right to play in.  The water was colder today.  I'm not used to cold at this time, so I was a bit surprised.  Let me look it up: surfline.com says 62-64 degrees.  I think 62.
My plan was to swim out past the surf and see what was up.  This I did and I felt good--I had energy.
I angled out to the end of the pier, figuring I'd turn around if I lacked the energy.  I felt good so I went around and hit the sand on the south side in 36 minutes. 
The water had a greenish hue to it; visibility probably 6 feet.  A pleasing, nice, successful swim workout for this old guy.
