For the last five weeks I have been going for swims at Harbor Cove Beach at Ventura harbor. Its a small beach just behind the breakwater, so the waves are quite small, making for easy entry. Its also not too long a drive for me, about 40 minutes each way. Ive learned quite a bit from these swims, and have been enjoying them.
The FinFun tail is in many ways the most fun. Its light and works well, especially with my modified monofin.
Ive taken the Toothless tail out there twice. It has more drag and is slower than my other tails. But its The Toothless Tail, which makes it wonderful. I had to again make my own monofin for it as my big fat feet would not fit in the supplied Mahina fin. Today, my DIY fin broke. And it was polycarbonate! The stuff is not invincible. Oh, well, I have plans for what to do for the next one to make it stronger and tougher.
Also, today as I was carrying the fin back to the car, someone asked me what it was. Me: "It's a merman tail." Him: "Oh? I recognized the design, I work for Dreamworks." I let him take a good look before heading home.
The tail with the Lunocet monofin is by far the fastest. It had some issues in the first swim, but I fixed them and it worked great in the second. That monofin is just about ready for a better skin than my DIY spandex one.
Also: At a pool I put on the tail at the water's egde, my feet in the water, on the first step. I started doing the same thing at the beach, getting into the very shallow water before donning the tail. Bad idea, sand gets into everything, including inside the skin. It then tends to collect at the tips of the tail, turning them into little sand bags. Now I don the tail just above the waterline and work my way to the sea. More effort, but well worth it.

Those are super cute, Kelly! I like the little narwhal.
I saw this article:
"A New Zealand pizza chain aims to become the world's first company to offer a commercial drone delivery service, a milestone in the once-unthinkable quest to save time and money with an air-borne supply chain dispensing with people."
The article went on to discuss drones and various plans for using them for delivery. One comment on the article read as follows:
"The seagulls are going to love this. They already attack drones. Now they can get rewarded with a delicious pizza when they do."

I have my first gliding camp on the 17th of September where I can learn to fly gliders for the first time!
Got some progress made on the scales I'm making, then I got extremely distracted. I also put the final coat of glossy acrylic sealer on my Ariel shells for my costume this Halloween!

Twilight darkens, yet there in the shade,
Lies a glimmering shadow, the wild mermaid;
As night draws ever closer, there's a choice to be made--
Will you stay as you are, or be delivered to the waves?

GIrl... you don't want to see my LawnFawn collection.... lol
I am just about finished with my newest tail, which brings the total to 9 that I have made! Phew! I also discovered I am not a fan of the sewing part, but I am of the painting. Maybe I need to open a Paint-Your-Tail service. XD

I called my gym and asked if they allowed monofins and they said they were allowed! Since my pool is too cold to swim in and they have a year round heated pool!

Enjoy your swims, Clara! :-)
Went to the opening day of the local Renaissance festival. Wore my old court gown (haven't taken it out of the box since 2010). Was fun to add some new accessories to it and take it for a spin! It was fun being "Lady Radcliffe" again.
