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,

Hey Ron, when you swim shores to the cove where do you get in? I heard the swim described as a mile, I imagine it depends on where you get out. My relay gets out at the lifeguard tower.
I swam at the cove this AM...to the B buoy and back. I took 21 min on the way out and 14 min on the way back, which leads to another question: Is there a prevailing current working against you on the way out? Last week my splits were almost dead even. I would love to believe that 14 min half...I did swim it hard, I took a few minutes getting my breath back.
Since salt water is more buoyant... could I infer that all other things being equal, I could swim faster in the ocean?
BTW, the conditions were wonderful, I could see the bottom almost the entire way... have not done that before....even the kelp got out of my way.
