Saturday SWELLious Fun!

Turned out to be a beautiful day at the cove... sticks are out and we had some merfriends after all. It was Shayne, Ruth, and the Mighty C's off to the A, the B, and then a criss-cross tour of the sticks to the half, quarter and ridin' those swells in... some nice big rollers coming in, but they kindly headed to the shores today and missed the cove. Water felt a little cooler, around 62ish. So nice here, a baby elephant seal dropped in to rest and rested ALL day with lifeguards and Bill trying to coax it back to sea... cute guy, though I don't think he was well.

I snapped a few pics and a video. Ruth and Hovik took some videos. We had a nice casual picnic on the grass with Carol and her family, Shayne, Ruth and all... Dianadarling and Janie stopped by after a later swim. I brought my chai and some blueberry scones and we whiled away a few pleasant hours on the grass...

We'll be back tomorrow at 11. I think lots of swimmers will join the pod -- Carol, Janie, Shayne, Annamarie, Ruth and anyone else that shows...

This little guy sums up how we felt after the swim... aahhhh... let's take a nap!

Big Chill Samoa Party 2011

Swimming for Mothers...everywhere!

Such a beautiful swim today -- Carol joined Cami, Bill and I for a cool ocean surprise!  The temps dropped in the sea and in the air... wow-- Cami rocked with no wet suit.  Mighty strong, Cami! We quickly raced from the 1/4 to the Marine Room where we saw a few bat rays in the murky water... Bill and Cami spotted a cool looking orange colored jelly fish... lots of sea lions frisking about. Carol and I headed to the caves and Carol swam through her cave...  a special day on a special weekend... with very special people.


Sorry we missed the Big Chill party, but glad that Marta shared the fun pics on Facebook (see, you all need to be on Facebook). Marta, can you post some of those on the blog (for our Facebook hold-outs)?  Phoenix looks quite stunning in her coconuts and I needed very dark sunglasses to look at LFTC's brightest of the bright mumu... Diana also looked loverly...and I didn't see Doug (or Janie) wearing coconuts, which I thought had been part of the excitement... still, I'm glad our pod represented all of us not in attendance -- you did good, dear merfriends!


We'll be out there tomorrow swimming again for mother's everywhere. Hope to see you there!
SWUGS! (swim hugs)
