 A barricaded parking lot and a member of Whitefish Bay's finest greeted the Kru Thursday evening as we arrived at Klode for our 6pm swim. Due Wednesday evening's weather, the Klode fireworks were moved to Thursday evening which consequently closed the beach. Fortunately great minds think alike and the Kru knew to migrate south to Big Bay for Thursday's swim.

 A delightful evening for a swim. Air temps were in the upper 70's, the skies were clear and the wind was calm. The shoreline water temps measured in the mid-60 but warmer pockets of water were encountered during our swim. We were also blessed with crystal clear water that allowed you to easily admire the sand and rocks adorning the lake bottom.....even in 20ft of water.

 Best of luck to the Kru members participating in the Big Swell Swim in Devils Lake. I know Sir James and The Big Show are participating. Anyone else?
