Sweet, Near Spring Swim

Well, the not-so-mighty C's bailed-out on Sunday's first day of Spring swim. We headed to the cove from Torrey Pines and it just looked cold-drizzly-dreary, especially compared to our fun roller day on Saturday.  The C's sadly faded back to Poway, leaving our dear Ruth with no pod-nicks to swim with... only the fabulous memories of SATURDAY!

But Saturday was awesome -- Ruth and the mighty's C's braved the decent surf (there were body surfers) and super-moon low tides for a rockin' and rollin' swim out to the A, then Marine Room, up to the 1/4 to see how Leprechaun Bill had dressed the buoy for St. Patrick's Day -- wearing the green, now!  Then Ruth was having sooooo much fun in swimming up hill, we swam back to the A and then in, having some excellent big surf training with our Bill -- Laura would be proud!  Surf wass up -- great swim, water temps slowly warming to the spring side (felt like 57ish). Even had a nice deck visit from Cami and the boys!  All-in-all, a happy, near spring experience.  

Ruth posed with Leprechaun Bill -- we took the photo with Ruth's iPhone, so please post...  The red hair and beard were quite striking...  

Cove looked bleak when we got there at 11 AM and then... it then turned all gorgeous on us!

Here's what the Saturday cove looked like when we got out -- so beautiful.
