representing yous guys

a little swim report for your reading pleasure: saturday, early, claudia, dianadarling, lftc.
the 3 girlies decided to beat the swell and dive in early. we had planned to swim to the pier where david was working, climb up, get a ride back and drink greyhounds in diana's truck (because we are those kinds of girls) but time wasn't on our side. we swam from the marine room with a fairly easy entry and honest to god, we saw a dorsal fin cruising right at our feet in maybe 2 feet of water. a small dorsal fin, most likely a leopard shark but it was so cool! we looked all around but he was gone. anyway, we made it in after a long and torturous walk in, it felt so cold but my watch read 57 steadily. that's not cold, you all know it. we swam almost to the pier and we could not tell if dave was on the pier, we didn't want to swim all the way over there, big swells were causing a hard slant: the water building from the west was high in relation to the water on the shores, like a slide! we were worried that climbing up the ladder would be bumpy or dave wouldn't even be there and we'd have to swim all the way back since there'd be no way i'd get out anywhere along the shores. we turned around and swam hard all the way back with diana leading us along in magic fins. we raced to the jacuzzi at the club and checked out the cove, big waves moving in, poor girl lifeguard standing at the water's edge in all her gear, waiting for something terrible.  so, it turns out that dave had been watching us for our entire swim with his super bionic binoculars, he said he felt like a pervert as there were guys fishing off the pier for scripps aquarium, he was standing near the chain gate with these enormous binos watching 3 swimmer girls. whatever, he watched us until we turned around. pretty cool.  so that's your little swim report for today. oh, we did stop several times to look for our crew but there were no swimmers out except us but we stood in for all of you. we represent!
lftc-out
