This weekend Angie and I are on a sailing trip to Benicia (well, I drove here, but everyone else sailed). We had a fun night of shenanigans last night and I woke up desperate for a swim. Colleen, always up to try a new swim spot, met us at a park in Benicia where a… Read More Benicia (Day 239)

Sheila, Arwen, Angie, and I had a swift swim at Keller Beach and then soaked in a sauna. Keller was quiet when we arrived; the tide was low so our swim started with a slog through the muck and eel grass, but then it felt great.

It was the first day since January 1st that if I wasn’t doing this swimming challenge, I would have skipped. My plan was to swim in Tomales Bay when we… Read More Inverness (Day 10)
