Shipwreck Swim Saturday

Next Swim: Monday 6PM

Last Swim: Sunday June 3rd noon
Water Temp:  Capt’n, Itch and I all got different readings on our thermometers ranging from 55 to 60.  That’s reflective of the warmer and colder pockets we experienced as we swam through.
Waves:  None
Water Clairity: Zero, but it was bluer - less yucky brown than yesterday.
Crew:  Gumdawg, Sir James, Mr. Anonymous, Capt’n, Diablo, Kahuna, Handyman Hank, Panini, Itch, Drangonfly, Patriarch

Next Saturday June 9th is the Shorewood Men’s Club Barb-B-Q at Atwater Park.  As in past years we’ll do a shipwreck swim (conditions permitting) around 11AM and then head up the bluff for delicious chicken and/or rib dinners.  Discounted dinner tickets will be available.  More details to come.

Few things taste better after a nice swim than a BBQ Chicken or Rib Dinner, with a beer. I have tickets to sell, and if you buy from me, you save on the price you would otherwise have to pay day of. Each dinner comes with your choice of chicken or ribs, corn bread, and your choice of German potato salad or cole slaw. I'm selling two types of dinner tickets: 1/2 BBQ chicken dinner tickets for $10.50, and 1/2 BBQ rack-o-rib dinner tickets for $13. The picnic at Atwater Park runs from 11:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., and there's also beer, ice cream sundaes and live entertainment. Text me a message at 414.418.4469, or email me at sandiependleton@aol.com if you want me to reserve a ticket for you. I accept cash or checks (make checks payable to Shorewood Men's Club). All proceeds go to worthy causes around Shorewood (including improving Atwater Beach/Park).

Monday night swim report:

People showed up, they swam, it was cold. If you were there, you know this. If you were not there, you really can't be bitching about me not providing more detail, now can you?

Anybody want to swim on Thursday at 6 pm?

Fyi, I only have 8 chicken tixs and 6 ribs tixs left. Get 'em while they're getable.

Oops! I posted a shipwreck swim Saturday but I forgot I was already committed to the Friends of Estabrook Park picnic at the Biergarten the same day. Bring a dish to pass and bring or buy your Estabrook beer mug and get FREE BEER. 12:30PM to 3PM.

I know, I know. Too many good choices. That’s the good thing about summer!

The shipwreck swim plus Mens's BBQ is a highlight of the summer. I will be there.

Kahuna said...

Maybe the Saturday Swim should be moved to 10:00 a.m.?

Kahuna said...

I'm swimming at 6:00 tonight. Anybody else in?

I'll be there.

Magic Mike said...

Perhaps, but i have to be at shs graduation shortly thereafter, so the situation is fluid.

I'll be at the shipwreck swim/BBQ. Kahuna is saving my chicken ticket. I hope.

I have a tix for Showgirl and Dragonfly. I think Showgirl is going to stop by my place in the morning to pick up both tixs.

Wildflower said...

So 11am at Atwater park? Is that right? Who’s going?

Dragonfly Riffraff said...

I'll be there at 10. But I think official meet up time is 11.
