In Avila Beach it was clear with an offshore breeze and 35°. The water was 49° and felt every bit of that. The surf was 2 to 3 foot. The was a medium wind chop on the water. It was going to be a cold swim.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;We swam a route that Jodi suggested; left along the buoys to the last one, out past the kelp where the reef buoy used to be and over to the end of the Poly Pier. Then we doubled back along our route for a couple of miles in 1:20 (that&#39;s total time in the water).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1ymI8vpOS36OnvVLVUnBTHoobGGAEaq-xaL_bQXNbfQtixuebNcZBqphDQF2vbEDErkzu1X376JDEANlmgjUGFoFZlNxtfHhKTmvPyAO9RdShhMD0Hpnf9D2hJi-_kDOCAvkiRiVAExMmSsFwMo0LinnVh_lLSOwWQ6efKO9_bTMNbnnZXGEEDlBYQzwD/s1205/240406.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;600&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1205&quot; height=&quot;199&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1ymI8vpOS36OnvVLVUnBTHoobGGAEaq-xaL_bQXNbfQtixuebNcZBqphDQF2vbEDErkzu1X376JDEANlmgjUGFoFZlNxtfHhKTmvPyAO9RdShhMD0Hpnf9D2hJi-_kDOCAvkiRiVAExMmSsFwMo0LinnVh_lLSOwWQ6efKO9_bTMNbnnZXGEEDlBYQzwD/w400-h199/240406.png&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;The water was nice and clean.

Jim&#39;s shoulder is bothering him and I&amp;nbsp; was cold this morning. The water was 50°, about what it has been for the last 10 days, but I was feeling it more than usual. I think it was a mental thing more than physical.

The initial purchase came with a year of their membership program which I have continued for $50/year . Being in the water 4 times a week the programs once a year, no questions asked replacement of the camera seemed like a good investment. I&#39;ve not needed that level of support but I&#39;ve twice had small exterior parts replaced when years of salt water exposure took their toll.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Taking the photos for the blog used up 6+ water proof cameras before I tried a GoPro and their camera has outlasted anything else I&#39;ve had. Recently I&#39;ve started having trouble with water droplets hanging onto the lens protector and causing blobs in the photos. Today&#39;s photo is an example. This is a new issue. For years whatever GoPro coated the lens protector with would leave the glass clear. I have been unable to find anything that will stop water drops from clinging to the glass.

The surf was 2 to 3 feet with no sign of a bigger swell from the storm. The negotiated route would celebrate the return of the swim zone buoys by swimming the length of the buoy line and to not to repeat a leg, so, we swam to the left end of the buoys, to the end of the Poly Pier, in to the 2nd crossbars, over to the last buoy near the creek and along the right buoy line to our starting point.&amp;nbsp; The water was still 52°.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmK0BHeKIbBCzP003qdtN7nKuLje_wzUaiJOGrSAwjtzLno0N_f4WeLnevhbkh_zkrFwrWEXK-y9qtV1EAn8EWJ2aNVcUGUa8oMK4YETZ7nc846dDkz24_CNnUNAvQXS0tfesCDVYPVGwV1Tgl9CN4bJ_vtSOrB8LiLOEU3b6-BYvzFCSMaRLowm8K-tZw/s1219/240323.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;606&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1219&quot; height=&quot;199&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmK0BHeKIbBCzP003qdtN7nKuLje_wzUaiJOGrSAwjtzLno0N_f4WeLnevhbkh_zkrFwrWEXK-y9qtV1EAn8EWJ2aNVcUGUa8oMK4YETZ7nc846dDkz24_CNnUNAvQXS0tfesCDVYPVGwV1Tgl9CN4bJ_vtSOrB8LiLOEU3b6-BYvzFCSMaRLowm8K-tZw/w400-h199/240323.png&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;647&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1012&quot; height=&quot;256&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqdlpB6R654XogUx7w4wPqzvbRl4RSzdnUJD3f4gaNC6uUWzmqFk04rVOLlVdq4Bt3XDVJXzqVIdQHin4alMwMrbRUvRNOYnzZFhAkCt7H59BwLSw21Gi4-tGSgW23sHyJxzGS0KIOiIqur2Ud3qtIgQE3mLy67O3PL-f2gZCMW6bQmfxmPafck-Syhe_U/w400-h256/Screenshot%202024-03-23%20105341.png&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;Jodi, Tom and Niel near the left end of the buoy line.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;As we swam further offshore there was a large swell but the swimming stayed smooth.

The first one picked up Jodi and I and gave us a view from it&#39;s lip of Tom looking up and back at us from the impact zone. We slid down the back of the wave and floated over the second one. There wasn&#39;t a third so we swam for shore where Tom&#39;s cap was visible in the whitewater. He&#39;d ducked under the waves, avoided a round in the spin cycle and caught a smaller wave that took him to the beach.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;I&#39;ll be back tomorrow to swim at 11.

The second one was a refurbished model that Garmin gave me a deal on when a seal failed in my first 735. Recently the second one had what appeared to be a battery failure. It locked up, took multiple reboots to get the display back and then didn&#39;t have GPS and showed the wrong time, so I got on the web and went shopping. I was happy with the 735 but it is discontinued. Garmin&#39;s list for the 745 is $499. Online a refurbished 735 was $230, a new 735 was $285 and a new 745 was selling for $330. I was happy with the 735 but rather than buy a &#39;new&#39; watch that had been on the shelf for years with its battery aging out I bought the 745. Its basic functions are very much like the 735 but I had some reservations. The 745 has Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Garmin Pay and Sportify and certainly other stuff that I would need to dig into and turn off to dial it back to how I&#39;d like it. It is not unlike getting a new phone.&amp;nbsp; On the upside, the buttons are a different design and look to be more resistant to sand and salt, so less chance of a leak. It has improved GPS and the plots of my runs and swims are more true to my route without the zig zags in the previous plots. It also, somehow, logged my heart rate through my wetsuit today!&amp;nbsp; It does a different pulse sensor. Tomorrow&#39;s swim will tell me more.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://swimavila.blogspot.com/feeds/7547540087951961695/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5339112218238375171&amp;postID=7547540087951961695&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5339112218238375171/posts/default/7547540087951961695'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5339112218238375171/posts/default/7547540087951961695'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://swimavila.blogspot.com/2024/03/saturday-march-23rd-2024.html' title='Saturday, March 23rd, 2024'/><author><name>Niel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12088049651967129496</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-2yT19rpr6gw01SFZiCaKSz22vS-AzTQs0Do5GioSI6Aw55ucmekqCcVRrd-FW2wyRhSAV2FYylnlj0NGAeZg9NCAbEUH1eqbXoXSFwRuLqdAZ_pdgMkPk0l9UPu_jzc/s220/pismo14.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmK0BHeKIbBCzP003qdtN7nKuLje_wzUaiJOGrSAwjtzLno0N_f4WeLnevhbkh_zkrFwrWEXK-y9qtV1EAn8EWJ2aNVcUGUa8oMK4YETZ7nc846dDkz24_CNnUNAvQXS0tfesCDVYPVGwV1Tgl9CN4bJ_vtSOrB8LiLOEU3b6-BYvzFCSMaRLowm8K-tZw/s72-w400-h199-c/240323.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339112218238375171.post-4893283431313708221</id><published>2024-03-21T11:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2024-03-21T11:31:05.874-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Thursday, March 21st, 2024</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;

I arrived a bit early.&amp;nbsp; The air temperature was 45°, the surf was like Sunday, 2 to 3 foot but mushy, well consolidated and breaking on the sand bars three times with the final break at the beach. Sand is building up on the beach so the walk to and from the water is no longer rocky. The beach near the water is still very steep. Sometimes the water that runs out collapses the incoming waves and creates a wave going back out through the surf.&amp;nbsp; I waded out until I had to begin swimming and in 10M I could stand up on a bar and walk out past the breaks.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;I had not done triangles in a while so I swam the imaginary buoy line clockwise and counterclockwise. The water felt colder than Sunday. I measured 55° which is almost the same temp as on Sunday but with the lack of sun and a 25° cooler air temperature it felt like 53 - 54.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;I could still feel the swells passing under me at the end of the Avila Pier.&amp;nbsp; Each sandbar takes some energy out of a swell and by the time they reached the beach they were down to mush.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Things look good for swimming on Thursday with rain starting Thursday night and continuing through Saturday so swimming Saturday and Sunday may get scrubbed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;niel&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://swimavila.blogspot.com/feeds/5196937712500516827/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5339112218238375171&amp;postID=5196937712500516827&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5339112218238375171/posts/default/5196937712500516827'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5339112218238375171/posts/default/5196937712500516827'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://swimavila.blogspot.com/2024/02/tuesday-february-27th-2024.html' title='Tuesday, February 27th, 2024'/><author><name>Niel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12088049651967129496</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-2yT19rpr6gw01SFZiCaKSz22vS-AzTQs0Do5GioSI6Aw55ucmekqCcVRrd-FW2wyRhSAV2FYylnlj0NGAeZg9NCAbEUH1eqbXoXSFwRuLqdAZ_pdgMkPk0l9UPu_jzc/s220/pismo14.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_0b4f-7frAp-M1SeWziOSDJc92DLkwy4u1FXp_lTo_j2LYqQEhoRYxpPa1DU0LiSjJ_Fioh4Kb6YCTHWR9iG6WetmLADt9KF6AL5IPfpLAV0h4keXIOyV9_xooYXWJM8KolveVy0syycKUM8lO4WqeRDQCXeElaEt7VV4FoCx1p8az4ZNL3LvV_aRvdLE/s72-w400-h198-c/240227.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339112218238375171.post-2472770145014258236</id><published>2024-02-25T14:37:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2024-02-25T14:37:04.662-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Sunday, February 25th, 2024</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfgp5rMWTgJdFWa9MEw2KfqfsrH8k2zjrB4izP5aDmVHvh1dCi1ZhgNikJp7F-GsiY4DBfrtuB7hzJj-lNkxYg7-7sKRSeNqpEWwUlIzvhfsWy45FmLlXPm-skVse7BMdXQNnJE2kvkboJ1-b-0WvWd4DrhPZa-zm6NbCdzY49t8E78w3XQMcHQ1sbKYvl/s5568/GOPR0804.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;4176&quot; data-original-width=&quot;5568&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfgp5rMWTgJdFWa9MEw2KfqfsrH8k2zjrB4izP5aDmVHvh1dCi1ZhgNikJp7F-GsiY4DBfrtuB7hzJj-lNkxYg7-7sKRSeNqpEWwUlIzvhfsWy45FmLlXPm-skVse7BMdXQNnJE2kvkboJ1-b-0WvWd4DrhPZa-zm6NbCdzY49t8E78w3XQMcHQ1sbKYvl/w400-h300/GOPR0804.JPG&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial;&quot;&gt;This was Avila Beach at 10:30 Sunday morning, sunny, 70°, a light wind and a 55.4° (!) water temperature.
