Easy (er)

Beach: Klode
Water temp: 53
Air Temp: 46
Waves: none
Water Clarity: clear
Crew: Gabriel, Capt'n
Next Swim: Klode 11AM Sunday

It's getting warmer! ...and I'm not just talking about the air temps. Gabriel and I were pleasantly surprised this afternoon to find that the water temp actually rose a WHOLE degree since yesterday's swim. Combine that with a thinning cloud cover and what you get is the best swim day of the week so far!

On a sad note though, we were both bummed to find out prior to our swim that The Patriarch would be unable to join us. ...although, truth be told...as much as we missed the comforting guidance and smartass remarks of The Patriarch I think we missed his bottle of Killepitsch more. (Ok...I'll be honest...we actually just missed the Killepitsch....I mean like, he's loco you know. Comforting??? Now that's funny!)

Today we swim up to Cedar Grove and back. We were pretty tempted to stretch the journey up to the rock wall...but with Coach Gabriel's rugby kids hanging out on the beach we wanted to maximize our opportunities to set a good example for them by repeatedly swimming back and forth along the Klode beach on such an exceptional day for swimming.

The plan is to swim again on Sunday at 11am. Just two more days to tie the record...three more to break it! Anyone care to join in on the fun? Gumdrop? :)
