Last week Nobu and I did a rare daylight swim. It was a beauty of a day so the family came along too. In certain areas of the cove there were more jellyfish than usual. During our morning swims it is pitch black and you feel the jellies but never actually see them. I'm not aware of anyone ever being stung by a jellyfish in SF bay so I don't worry about it too much. As far as I can tell there are two species that we run into on a regular basis - call them the big ones and the smaller soft ones. I swam out and snagged a small one to show my little guys. They loved it! Here are some photos.
The kids started out in the crows nest of the Dolphin Club
The sun made it so cozy
The bay was a frigid 48 degrees, but it was a bit easier to get in during the daytime
Of course, the kids hit the beach as soon as we took off swimming

Me and Nobu, slightly hypothermic but happy
Jellyfish Dad! Jellyfish!
