Liquid glass swimming...such bliss!

A rare treat for me to steal away for a sunset delight!  Glassy, warm and calm,  thought I might walk to the B.  Alternatively, we swam into the sunset -- pink, glassy calm washed my day into a perfect moment.  Bill, Ruth and e-Larry -- a happy group, delighted to end the daylight happily swimming to the B.  Seemed to go by quickly, turns out the swim is about a mile and a half, round-trip.  I am not sure what the very large marine mammal was that showed up behind Bill in an arching plunge, but it was black and blunt-nosed,  with a small dorsel fin and was blowing out a blow hole... seemed like it could have pilot whales I've seen before -- not sure but it was only about 10 feet from Bill -- exciting moments!

Cetaceans -- what mystery creature did we see?

So lucky to be swimming on a week day -- BLISS!
