Oh, how sloppy is the water. Dirty, too. My wet suit is only 1 millimeter thick and with a fabric liner and after 20 minutes or so I am thinking cold, cold, cold as I swim.

Feb 24 Thursday late afternoon Oceanside Pier
Sloppy, cold, washing machine, brown water at the beach today. I counted the number of people in the water on one hand. I don't know why I am compelled to get into this nasty water and swim around the pier, but it does something good for me. There was even one older man in the water with just his swim suit on and a pair of fins. The water is freezing. Gotta give him his respect for skipping the wet suit. Wow.

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.

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.
