One more fairly nice day

Last Swim:  Tuesday, 5:22 pm
Air Temp:  Mid to upper 70s
Water Temp: 60
Waves:  1 - 2 feet
Clarity:  Murky, some junk along the shore
Crew:  Moon Daug, Handyman Hank, Mr. Bubble, Itch
Late Arrival/Parking Lot Support:  Diablo

Little bit better today than yesterday.  Water not quite as choppy and a tiny bit cleaner.  Air temp about the same on the beach as on top the hill - beach was colder yesterday.  No biting flies!

Next Swim?

and another question--are we going to have an "end of the season, but not really an end of the season" party?

I think I'm done pretty much done swimming for the season; time instead to ensure that I have sufficient stored energy to make it through the winter:

"As fun and silly as this thing is, there is a serious undertone to it," he said. "They're fishing and eating as much as they are because they have to. It is a game of life and death for them, with serious consequences."

Itch--some people can multi-task and talk party and swim. Wet Taco--name your day for the party, and tell us what we should bring.

Friday. Saturday, and Sunday were all great swims. Not just great but spectacular!!! Water mid to upper 50's and CRYSTAL CLEAR! Calm water Friday and Saturday, little bit of chop Sunday.
Swims 5:30 Monday thru Friday next week. Look forward to see all you multitasking people on the beach.

Report as to Saturday's swim: water 55 degrees. Kru: Patriarch, We'Tac, Itch, Kahuna, and somebody else. Who was that swimmer? Magic Mike maybe? My apologies to the Forgotten Swimmer. Tire recovered from the beach.

Report as to Sunday swim: water 56 degrees. Kru: Itch, Magic Mike, Mrs. Noodle, Diablo, Kahuna.

And of course, somebody made a film called "Lake Michigan Monster." (Insert Your Kru Joke Here.) It's being shown 3 times during the Milwaukee Film Fest (Wed. 10/24 at 3, Mon. 10/29 at 9, and Wed. 10/31 at 9:45). More details here: https://mkefilm.org/events/mff-2018/lake-michigan-monster. I'm game. Maybe the Monday night show?

Group screening! They should let us in for free. Also, why weren't we consulted for this?

Hey! Believe I was the "forgotten swimmer" aka "somebody else" from Saturday - thanks alot Kahuna! I guess MY BIRTHDAY made no impression on you either. And I did shore support Sunday too!

We'Taco, I read your comment as "Group screaming....."
