June Already?

Last week I got a message from one of the partners from my last job. Kris Weber said that there may be a water quality opportunity coming up. I found out that it is contingent on a sub-contractor getting contracts. If I can nail that down this week I might commit to a Catalina date this year. I need a decent job to self fund the crossing. Otherwise, next year will have to do.
I did two swims out of Oak Street this weekend. Saturday the temperature had dropped 5 degrees to 56F (according to the local dive website) and it felt like it. I had an icecream headache and was pretty chilled by the time we reached the Main Beach buoy. I was happy for the current that made the return trip much quicker. My neighbor Pastee and I swam with a new swimmer from the Santa Cruz area, Ray Meltvedt. He wants to organize some Moonlight swims once a month! That sounds great to me!
Sunday I ended up going out by myself and the water had warmed back up to 63F or so. There was a good wind and a lot of chop. The water was clear except for flowing sand from rip-currents. I did see a few Garibaldi though.


I hope that job comes through this week...cross your fingers or fins for me!
