Jinxed (or that's what Itch says)

Next Swims:  Monday thru Friday 6AM & 6PM
 
Last Swim:  Tuesday 6am
Water Temp:  54
Waves: Lots and lots of waves, out of the north
Clarity:  Super HD Clear
Crew:  Magic Mike, Laguna, Mr. Anonymous, Showgirl, First-Time-Mike

Itch accused us of jinxing the lake by being too happy about the warm and flat water. 

As usual, he was right.  Temps continued to decrease overnight, and waves increased, so that we were faced with wavy, 54 degree water this morning.

Rather unfortunately, today was also the day that a new swimmer, Mike, chose to join us.  Welcome Mike, and we do apologize for the water conditions this morning. You should have come yesterday.

THAT SAID, it was still pretty great.  Usually when it's this wavy, the clarity is terrible.  Today, as we were being thrashed by the waves, you could still see every ripple of sand on the bottom as the sun shone through the water.  That beauty kept me slogging to the birches, and the waves carried us back to the beach.
