Dear Friends,
Wow! I just had one of my favorite ocean outings!
This morning, I swam/snorkeled the farthest I ever have from shore. I am so proud! We swam from La Jolla Cove to the kelp forest area just by a buoy marking a quarter mile from shore. It was a gorgeous day with awesome visibility. We could see the bottom the whole way. I might have been intimidated if I couldn’t see what was below me, but luckily today it was so clear.
The kelp is so peaceful. There is so much life around the long elegant kelp towers. I saw my first tope shark! It was so beautifully winding around the kelp.
As we swam in, feisty sea lions swirled around us. I always love seeing them.
Our mom observed us from the shore. She was so impressed with my swimming!
Thank you to Tara for being willing to let me try this new milestone. I feel so empowered. I can’t wait to go out again next week!
Your Friend,
Danny
