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!

Double-Dipping, But Wishing It Was Ice Cream

Why is it, sometimes, that song from Oklahoma! starts going through my head...I'm Just A Girl That Can't Say No.  (ugh!)  Especially lately.  I've been doing A.M. and P.M. swims...not because of any one reason other than someone asked if I could.  Uh, I dunno.  I'll have to think about that...pffft...yeah!  The Cove has just been lovely lately and I know rain is looming toward the end of this week, so gotta swim while the sun shines (or something like that).

Tuesday, Laura and I had a most awesome RT swim to the Tower at the Shores.  It was sunny, the water was warm (62F) and nearly glass.  Just beautiful, though I think we swam through the sea lions lunch on the way back in...that was some pungent fish smell (whew)! At dusk, Kat and I did a buoy swim.  The conditions, still good.  LG's Tim and Joe told us that there was a shark patrolling the Cove just before we came in....great!  Forgot to find out what kind!

Today, I'm having another double dose...we'll see what's in store with Laura in the A.M. and a larger group in the evening.

The forecast is rain by Thursday night and into Friday and possibly Saturday.  High surf advisory is also on the horizon (read: bodysurfing)...it's all good.

Well, as it turned out, it was just me and my iPod for the morning swim (Cove-MR-Tower-MR-Cove). It was trying to rain and we got an occasional spritz, but the sun parted through the clouds just enough and we saw dolphin really up close, just outside the Cove! I hung out with Dan's lovely family while he finished his Pier swim and then I went in for a shorty A-Q-A after a run up to the jacuzzi. Pam then helped me out with my Bat impersonation on the inversion table LOL...missed everyone today.  Don't let a little sprinkle get in your way!
