Last Beach Inspection: Noon Sunday
Water Temp: 55
Wind: 20+ mph easily along the lake
Waves: Huge, crashing over the rocks
Clarity: Light brown for 1/4 mile along shore, lots of debris
Shore Crew: Patriarch, Kahuna, Itch, Diablo, Mr. Bubble
Rough day - no swimmers, no surfers, big pieces of driftwood, pounding waves crashing every few seconds.
Kahuna saved the day spreading around samples of some Cuarenta y Tres liquer with warm coffee.
"This is really good!" - it was unanimous!
Here's a photo from Kahuna showing the cultural pursuits we were pursuing in lieu of swimming.
Kahuna's Kommentary
Diablo contemplating his great work of modern art, just before it descended into the Lake’s Shredder.
Oh the impermanence of Life, Art, and Lake Swims.
And alcohol.
Topping off his demonic Ceremonial Tree of Fall with his anti-star, supported by his acolytes.
Will this black ritual undue the curse cast upon the Lake by the fool who pronounced yesterday “that there’s plenty of good swimming left this season”?
Ah, but that same person also pronounced that we should visit Klode as often as possible - so this photo shows we doing our part.
Forecast for tommorow looking better

OMG, that poor gator. Who would be so heartless?
Truly heartless. AND, that's exactly the sort of thing (someone transporting something deadly to swimmer into Lake Michigan) that used to periodically slip into my mind during my swims, esp if I couldn't see any other swimmers. When I once shared such thoughts with Itch, he told me that I think way too much and to just enjoy the swim. And I've successfully followed that advice UNTIL NOW!!
Only 4ft.....you could take him!
I holding a benefit concert to raise funds to assist the relocation of the poor creature back to a more suitable environment. What should I call the event?
GATORAID!
We need to find a few more swimmers willing to accept the kru names "Fodder" and "Chum"
http://www.marshbunny.com/stjohns/wildlife/gatorattack.html-One should tie little bells on ones clothes to make noise to scare them off, and carry pepper spray just in case of attack. You can tell if Alligators are in the area if you find droppings with little bells in it, smelling like pepper.
