ocean rocks

Ahhhh the ocean, mad swim in long beach sunday swimming along bellmont shores in prep for long beach triathlon.

its easy to do a mile just 100 yards off the beach is prolly 2 miles long from alamitos to LB, slipping along through salty 65 deg water in early morning marine layer, thick rich smelling air electrifying my senses, well not all my  senses :)

a sea lion pops his head up looks around then swims along side 50 or so yards off. not seen dolphins here but did see them in corona del mar and in north carolina two dolphins came over while was swimming a mile one of the dolphins purposely bumped me on the chest, my observer on the beach saw the whole thing.

Off in the distance can see the queen marry surrounded by thick marine layer she sits there looming in the mist. she is haunted you know you can rent a room and stay over, done it, pretty cool.

As im finishing up my mile and turn in toward the beach the earliest beach goers just arriving to stake their claim, walk out on the sand, look back to see if my sea lion friend is off playing with other interests. one more deep breath of the heavy sea air.

radical morning, just feel alive!
