Looks like it's time to get back to regular 6 pm swims, and probably regular morning swims, too. 

When I read it was going to be in the upper 70s and sunny today, I thought perfect day to go to Klode after work.  So, even though the official date and time of the next swim hadn't been announced, I felt pretty sure someone from the Kru would be at Klode at 6.  Walked down to the beach right when the chimes rang - no sign of any Kru members.  Waited a few minutes and decided not to swim by myself, started to hike back up.  About half way up, came upon Linda strolling down, already wearing her cap and googles - no doubts in her mind about what she would do when she got down to the beach. 

This was Linda's second swim of the day - she went swimming skin in the morning, too.  She's training for a North Dakota Endurance Swim - 36 miles.  So, she's definitely ready to get back to our regular swim schedule.
