At least it wasn’t raining this morning!  Yesterday I walked in the rain and swam in the rain….. so seeing some sunshine today has been great!  There are still some lingering clouds…. but it’s supposed to improve in the next few days.  Today’s swim was wonderful…. the water is definitely cooler….. but it’s been so clear.  I didn’t even want a rainy day to interfere with swimming!  But the conditions still looked decent….. so I took my board out too!  Initially it was good conditions but suddenly got very bumpy and it was a lot of work Paddling.  I couldn’t get very close to the rocky point for fear I might get pushed into the rocks, but I did spot two turtles out there….. however both were swimming well beneath me and the choppy water didn’t make me want to hang around.  I paddled north to Cove Park and then the water calmed down a bit.  That didn’t last though, so I paddled home.  I was happy to get out there…. but I’m looking forward to better Spring conditions for Paddling!  I’ve pretty much had it with inclement weather at this point….. and ready for Spring……
