Wed More Pics
















The water was nicer than yesterday but still dirty and choppy. I swam a wide loop around the pier. I held up OK, although my hands were a bit stiff from the cold when I got out. I took a few pictures of the high timeshares they built at the pier to ruin the quiet atmosphere of old Oceanside. I don't care for the "development" to "improve" Oceanside. I liked it when the beach was quiet.
Maybe that's why I look so mad in my self-portrait. I need longer arms to get my head smaller.

Wed Feb 23 O'Side Pier Swim












I took these after I got out of the water.

Tuesday Feb 22 O'Side Pier

I went in the water and swam the pier after work today. Very choppy and hard to get the head up to breathe the air. Cold. Against the current. Only a few surfers in the water. What else could you want, right? It was great. It's two hours later and I'm still chilly.

Monday No Camera

The water wasn't as rough Monday on the Holiday and I was able to swim freestyle. Still brown water but I didn't get sick Sunday so I went for it.

Sunday Even More




Brown water surfing. This picture above shows the clear delineation from the bluish water to the brownish water - the picture on the left, I mean. I swam the bluish part, skirting along the brown part trying to stay just beyond it. It was kinda' neat. Through my goggles I could clearly see the brown water cloud pushing out toward me while I was swimming along.
