Robin, Cap'n, and I arrived at the beach and saw a swimmer heading north. He/she was quite a bit out, but we figured we'd see him/her on their return trip. Robin turned back at the "rockpile" but Cap'n and I continued on to "three piers", which is probably .8 miles out, stopping a few times to look for the swimmer, but we didn't see anyone.
But then we looked out towards the middle of the lake, and we weren't sure, but we thought we saw two swimmers headed south. Game on! We started racing them back to the beach. After a few minutes we stopped and looked again, they were still out there, and we seemed to be gaining on them. We pushed hard all the way, and found Robin and Dan on the beach, but they couldn't have been the two swimmers we saw. No other swimmers in sight.
Somehow Dan (who, as it turns out was the swimmer we saw at the start)had slipped by us on our way out (which is surprising because we were looking for a swimmer). He hadn't seen us either. But who or what did we see out in the lake? My theory; the lake mermaids were luring us into their lair.
And a clever trap they set for us! The water was calm and amazingly clear, you could see a long way down, forwards, and sideways. The water temp may have been just a bit cooler than yesterday, low 60's if you believe the web.
