Strong west winds arrived overnight Saturday night and with it so did the cooler water temps. The hot sun and warm air temps combined with a near shore temperature reading in the mid 50's to tempt the record size crew to venture out for a swim. It didn't take long for those wading out past the Klode rock piles to realize that the mid-50 degree water was more the exception today than the norm. Still several Kru members logged impressive swims in the cold water. I counted at least 12 who made the 1 mile round trip journey up to Deadwood and back....4 of which were skin. On a very impressive note Sir James logged at 41 minute skin swim up to 3 Piers and back.
Not to be out done, the Monday morning Kru logged a garage and back swim in the bone chilling 44.8 degree water....which may qualify for one of the top 5 coldest swims ever!
The plan is to return at 6pm this evening to see if the water temps have rebounded similar to last Thursday. So far Showgirl, Kristi and myself are in. Anyone else?
