Ten mile relay

Lots of swim to be had during Sunday's Ten Mile Relay!  More red tide to test the mettle of the mighty teams (more than 100) out in the cove.  Off to a grey start and then the day turned out for a beautiful finish.

Teams we knew:  Just Add Water: Steve, Bill, Cary, Talya, and Amber; Must Have Swim (I don't think I got that name right) with Toni, Cami, Joe, Kathy and Phoenix -- other's out there included Hove-from-the-cove's team from Pfizer and a host of others... and PRIZES, did I say PRIZES?  Cami won the GRAND prize an iPad (that's a small net-book-like device that is actually a giant iPhone, for LFTC's benefit). LOL...  Phoenix said they also won dinner at the Crabcatcher in La Jolla. Even I won prizes!  I won a MONTH membership at the La Jolla Athletic Club -- yippee! And $20 gift certificates to Harry's Cafe... so, geez, it almost pays you to enter this race... next year, let's get some more teams on... it was lots of fun!

Good job all you racers, swimmers and winners.

Happy swim daze -- still saw some rays...

Quite a few swimmers out today: Ralph, LFTC, Ruth, Diana, Marta and Janie's crew were all there and went our ahead... we had to wait for Diana-darling as she carefully nursed her too-much-of-a-good-evening-self to the pond for a swim. Gorgeous day -- 62-63's, a bit swelly and bumpy, but stunningly beautiful. Not as clear as the PERFECT yesterday, though we did get to see tons of tiny fish and the sting ray parking lot off the Marine Room.  We went 1/4, Marine Room, searched for rays, Bill swam with a new friendly seal there near the shores, then we hiked out to the A, then Ruth chimes in and says B! We all headed happily there and then in... SOWEET!  Love you merpeeps -- where else to have such fun and spend time with friends, nature and the absolutely fabulous sea!
