Thursday swim

Beautiful calm sea today. 15 to 20 feet viz. Cold water at 59-61 (arguable). Sea lions are so thick we had to elbow our way through them in some areas. They've given up keeping a safe distance from us humans and are now curious and quite cheeky. I haven't been 'checked out' by so many eyes since my college clubbing days!

One solitary sea lion was hanging out inside the cave. Floating just below the surface; silhouetted in the water against the light at the back of the cave. He completely blocked the cave, so Steve D. and I backtracked out of the cave rather than disturbing 'Mr. Solitare'.

We swam to the Q, the stick, then toured the caves today. Great swim before the storm.
