Another wonderful weekend of swims!

Leonard was the leader for the Saturday swim!  He gathered us all together at 10:30 and we showed up in full force with our so many of our peeps on deck... LFTC, Diana, Ashley, Alexis, Leonard, Ralph, Lyndee and the MCs had a great swim to the Marine Room to look for whaterver we could find on a gray day... still it was fun -- Lyndee was smokin' fast on the return and Laura and Leonard were having some sort of race through the seas -- they were unstoppable. Some had to get back to the shore and others of us headed out to the 1/4, then the A and then finally, whew! in... we even did something we never do -- we all went out to a little Italian place had lunch together... after running into our Ethan who made his excuses for not making for the great 10:30 AM swim -- too early, I think he mumbled as he explained he swam all week.  One thing that made me laugh, Laura waited until (out of breath) we were huddled at the A buoy and she starts telling the great white stories... geez -- it was like telling ghost stories around the campfire to a bunch of little frightened kids! LOL... we were calm, cool and quickly swam into the cove after our campfire around the A stories...
See? It was warm and sunny (at least it was after the swim)!

Sunday the SUN came out -- we had 11 (nearly a 12-pack), but lost poor Kathy along the way. She didn't hear Bob say it was A, B, 1/4 and then cave day... she only heard, "1/4" (she swore that Bob whispered A and B) and off she headed. The rest of us were off to the A, B and beyond... Finally we discovered Kathy back at the cove, wondering how she could have lost 10 swimmers that day!  It was all good, a choppy, bumpy swim, with good viz and a fun trip through the cave with Carol and Bob... we did have an amazing group that showed up at noon -- ready to rock the seas!  We had Shayne, Bob, Carol, Phoenix, Leonard, Diana, Janie, Ralph, Kathy, and the MCs (I'm sure I forgot someone).  We missed all you that didn't come -- it was gorgeous after the swim, the sun came out and it was just like Cami always dreams --- perfect.

So let's not miss next weekend, eh?  Hope to see you for the July Birthday Pier swim at 9:00 AM and bring treats to share afterwards on the grass...

1/2 MC...
