no pants pier romp, november 3rd.

these photos will prove to our children, relatives and friends that we have spirit, a sense of adventure, a love of liquid peace and deep kinship. AND this group abides by the No Pants way!

in fact, some of us have less than no pants. 

once again, the best swim EVAR!

thanks to my beloved dave for the adventure, for telling us to get a move on, get down and get off the ladder, the water is fine, there are no sharks, get in, now.

beautiful peoples.

thanks to all my beloved friends for being hard core, cold water lovers and joining me so willingly, it would mean nothing without you. to my beloved friends who couldn't make it today, you were missed but we have 99 years ahead of us!

Guess what we saw...

Whales in the cove!  LFTC, with her sonar vision (is that possible?) spotted a disturbance in the water out there.  She swore it was dolphins, but TFTC batted her down, there's nothing out there.  But it was Cami who first spotted the spout and the back rolling up over the water surface.  "Whales!" she announced.  And all eyes were on the water.  Sure enough, we spotted them, spouting over and over again, in the same area, between the A and B.  They would appear and disappear two separate occasions before everyone was ready to head down to the water.  LFTC, TFTC, Cami, Ralph, Claudia and someone I'm forgetting.  We decided to swim out to the B, to what, I don't know.  Rendezvous, get eaten, or just swim in the same water as whales.

We got out there and saw nothing.  We waited, climbed onto the buoy, looked and looked.  Nothing.  Nothin but disappointment.

So we finish our swim, and Mike, the lifeguard, tells us that the whale BREACHED the surface when we were halfway to the B.  WTF???!!!  I thought for sure he was shitting me.  But Bill corroborated the report. Damn!!  We missed the real show while we were heads down, swimming for the B.

Water report:  64-ish.  Clear from the A to the B. Cloudy inside the Q.  Lots of waves on shore.
