Another Question about La Jolla Cove

Hey, Someone was telling me yesterday that there is a 3/8 mile buoy out there. I have not seen such a thing, either from up above or in the water. If there is one, is it on line between the quarter and half buoys or is it off to the side somewhere? Also, Ron Lockman, if you are lurking about, I am game for a cove to shores swim one of the afternoons this weekend, now that my son is gone,

    I`m not sure how they start and finish it,..I`ve not participated in it before. Me thinks they wear glow sticks under the goggle straps, but don`t actually stay out much after dark. Last night ( 6:30) I swam from La Jolla Shores to the white 1/4 mile buoy, to the B buoy and then into La Jolla Cove,..1.2 miles,...it was almost dead calm and the water was incredibly clear. I passed over two leopard sharks in the shallows and then way out there a stingray (?) passed under me like an airplane,..went thru a school of mackrel chasing bait fish and then near the cove garibaldi, and one BIG bass. It took me 36 minutes,..tracked it on a gps. When I learn to post attachments here,..I`ll show you the course I actually took.
