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!

Dolphin Swim

At 1st it looked real ugly from up top, the high tide had washed the rocks (if you know what I mean), grey skies, grey sea, and lots of texture, mod+ surge and 55'.  I went in with the 9am crowd after seeing a "bodacious herd of dolphin" heading our way!!  We did just over a mile and the dolphin were all over the place.  The guard said he saw one jump over the 1/4!  The water...clear on the inside to the 1/4, darker as you get to the 1/2, lots o' kelp at the A, for a good while looked strange...clear blue-green on the top 6-8in of water with the brown-red stuff just hanging underneath...like a mixed drink I once had.  I was NOT going to imbibe any of this concoction, no siree!  All in all, a very nice swim...definitely a chilly 55 though.  Caught a little wave coming in (waves are like 1:20sec if that). 
1.0m
