Special Notes: My girlfriend and I met up with our friends Dave and Jessica who drove down from Silverlake. They brought their masks and snorkels and were excited to go for a swim and see some things. We all got in the car and drove the coast route over to Christmas Tree Cove. I built up the place with my stories of fish and findings. When we got there it looked decent from the top so we hiked down and divied up the gear. Dave and I got in. The water was cold! Also, the water was very green and brown from all this dead plant matter and junk. The usual perch that previously always hung out at the cobblestones seemed to not be around and there was just less fish life in general as we swam up the left side. I saw an octopus and tried to get Dave to peep it but, it was hard to relocate the devil. Jess swam out to us, no wetsuit, no fins and we swam around and enjoyed the water. After a bit we swam to the middle of the cove and looked around in a new section of kelp growth. The water was murky. We eventually got out and lounged a bit and decided to drive over to Haggerty's.
