Logs & Writing
This is a collection of my short and longer writings, lifestyle notes and blog, vlog, favorites, quotes, and other publications: the flow of present moments, now, current happenings and activities, mental states, immersion, focus, involvements, moods, feelings, and states of mind.
This Summer I was swimming in the ocean as usual, and also in a bay a few times, but today I went to a University pool (UCSD) not far from here.
Wow, that was so great: I could concentrate on swimming itself, rhythm and pleasure of moving in the water, and there were no waves splashing in my face from all directions, no crazy surf like the other day on the Torrey Pines beach that you need to cross with some beating to get to deeper calmer waters, and no sharks, - man, I learned yesterday that pretty much every time you enter the ocean there is a shark more or less 100 meters away from you, I woke up at night thinking about it, - and no people on your way (especially disturbing for me were the boaters lately).
It was an amazing time! I did close to 1 kilometer, 40 laps, in under half an hour.

I like to swim in open waters. In Europe I did it mostly in seas or lakes, and here in California, San Diego County, I risk to go into the Ocean despite sharks sometimes attacking people. Here are a few of my routs near La Jolla, CA.
