A Super-Duper Dolphin Day In Del Mar

Buoys in front of Life Guard tower and Poseidon Restaurant

Del Mar is lovely...period.  The air temp is in the 70's, water temp around 56, light breeze of about 2kts out of the NNW, 3-4' waist - chest high with good form (occ open face) @ 10-13sec intervals.  Lets just say, surfers were smiling, as was I.

This young fella was not the least bit shy!

After my swim, I met friends for lunch at the Poseidon Restaurant, conveniently at the water's edge of where I was swimming this morning...good food and company, including this young seagull.  We'll call him Itza...as in "Itza is mine!"  He looked Italian.  Afterward, I got to sit in a doctor's office for 3+ hours...ugh!


Nice wave sets and dolphin in the distance...see 'em?

Note to self...if you want to negotiate bigger waves without having to deal with rocks, kelp, sea lions or tourists, drive a little further up the coast to Del Mar.  It was gorgeous today and yes the dolphin did come out to play.  Man, I really need a new water-proof camera to get Cecil B De Mille shots of the dolphin.
