Welcome to my swim blog. It's all about my favorite past time and passion...swimming in the ocean, primarily in La Jolla, California, but also wherever the tides take me. I enjoy playing with and watching all marine critters: fish, birds, sea lions and even sharks. The ocean is my home. Welcome to my home!

Early Swim in Lake La Jolla

Good Morning all you fishies and mer-people! Due to appts, I swam a bit earlier and with the 9am Pod. We had a group of 9 at 9 to help Bob West celebrate another year (his Birthday is really next Friday, but he'll be celebrating in more tropical fashion next week).

The conditions today are amazing! It's like a lake out there with barely a ripple, 65-ish and the viz is much better than yesterday.

Today we, swam to the 1/4 - #5 stick - Marine Rm and floated about looking at the leopard sharks, rays, and guitar fish. We swam back the same route. The sea lions were doing there impression of synchronized water ballet (or sharks...not sure which). They started in a circle formation, spread out to a straight line and mixed it up for an improv interpretation...quite impressive and funny. Steve, Chris and I did our best interpretations of sharks at the Marine Room to unnerve Deb (LOL).

Only Chris swam without fins and I couldn't keep up with him...hmmmm, I'm noticing a pattern here!
