a lazy swim report with the added bonus of marginally correct weather news (for those who have no idea), low grade surf hysteria, wildly divergent conditions info and mostly inaccurate water temps: here we go-some of us have swam, some have not, some of us swam together just as god intended and some have swam solo, all lone wolf style. (tftc perhaps?) some of stayed with the no pants way and some stayed in pants due to delicate constitutions. some of us come from 'a hard people' stock, some of us clearly were royalty somewhere down the lineage. 
the weather has been gearing up for summer with some icky cold days thrown in to remind us that we are not in charge, we weakly mortals. 
there has been surf; big surf, little surf, in between surf, homisurf, surficide, meet your maker surf and body surf. i stayed away from all of it but watched from the web cam. 
conditions; oh my god clear & calm and oh shit, it's gross, what is this stuff? and everything in between. conditions varied greatly depending on where you were, who you were with and most importantly, who was telling the tale. also, some of us have very low standards and will swim in almost anything so the report is highly relevant to the tale teller. 
my tough little timex is still working overtime on reading temps which have ranged from 54 to 65. 54 being brutal winter siberia cold and today's hot 65. 
most importantly, our crew swam all winter, almost everyone! i credit our group mentality and dedication (or utter desperation for safety in numbers) to stick with it, the begging and guilt trips are to be noted too. let's not forget the blatant bragging, cruel emails and texts about the'best swim evar' either. i never will.
of note: we must ask bill about his 'shoulder injury' which was totally wrecking his groove last week. seriously, his solo swim to the b was rough!  he can never again claim any injury as an excuse, he has to be missing a limb to escape us. cary said so. 
so there you have it people: a lazy swim report and so on and so on...
i look forward to summer swims with the best swim partners, one and all!
