Smooth, calm and not so clear...

We had a great swim, though, as Bill said, the viz was, well, NOT horrible... so there you have it.  Not horrible, not clear, but we did swim!  The red tide has been way too fond of the cove... The life guard posting on the board was perfect:  Swim: smooth, calm, warmer and brown...

We headed off to the quarter with our new swim friend, Daun who's training for a triathlon and Hove from the Cove, Hovik -- a real treat.  Daun headed back at the quarter, we sliced through the brownish haze to the half, then Hove headed back to the cove... 

It was patchy, but not as dense after we left the half and headed to the Marine Room. It was actually clear there, so we swam along the shores for a while, greeting a couple of leopard sharks. Finally we headed towards the caves and back. Toni was right, it was much clearer all the way from the shores along the caves than out at the quarter and half buoys.  We got buzzed by a life guard jet ski that nearly ran us down over towards the caves...  had some excitement... the grey clouds melted away and it turned out to be a lovely day.

Hope to sea ya' Sunday at noon!!!
