So tomorrow is the Maverick Invitational which meant the crew HAD to get in the water today.
(It sounds crazier than it was and nothing like this

This was the first time I've tried to swim in the ocean on a non-pancake day, but the jetty blocked the scariest stuff during the entry/exit and the sets were far enough apart that it was rather tame. The only snag came when I walked out of one of my fins (Thanks Kique for saving my fin and swim).

| Waist deep and still smiling. What a beautiful morning. |

| And this was Kique BEFORE he saved my fin! |

| I wish my little lumix had captured this better, but you can see the action towards Kelly and our turn around buoy. |
Definitely want to thank Joel, Randy, Gabor, Lezlee, Dan, KeKei and the shore patrol (Nicole, Nancy) for making this happen. I can't think of anyone else I'd want to spend 30-40 min in 52 degree water with.
