Water temp 65-ish; much slap-in-the-face surface chop on the way back to the cove (whaddupwitdat?) Yet clear and calm inside the cove.
Welcome to our swim blog... it's all about swimming in the ocean, mostly in the La Jolla, California area. We're open-minded, open-water fans -- enjoying local marine creatures, fish, yellow tails, birds and even the occasional human swimming by... Just like to get BACK TO THE WATER, whenever and as often as we can!

Sea the Turtle
Toni, Laura, Cami and Marta set out at 11:30 looking for clear waters. First we tried the caves, then headed for the Marine Room hoping for sharks. We were 2 strikes on the clear water and the sharks, but smacked a homer--sea turtle HO! Yes, just 100 yards straight out from the MR, there he was; a gorgeous coffee table with fins! We followed him for quite a while, chasing him into deeper water, before he disappeared, once and for all, into the murk. This was Laura's first time seeing the great elusive sea turtle. And I take full credit for spotting it (even though I was looking for sharks).
