Swims This Week

Next Swims:  Mon. - Thurs.:  6 a.m. and 6 p.m., Klode.

Last Swim:  Sun., noon, clear water, highly variable, and still pretty Baltic temperatures (recorded between 46 and 54).

From the comments, here is Dragon Fly's addition to my above brief report:

Sunny Sunday brought out a nice crowd of Kru with Patriarch, Kahuna, Moondaug, Linda the Lamprey, Forger, Liz, Showgirl, Squeeze o'Showgirl, Drangonfly, Itch, Stephanie, new Greg, and Handyman Hank, SUP support by Sir James and Shore Support by Stephanie's niece and year-old son. The water was clear Caribbean turquoise and looked (key word) very inviting. Showgirl and I agreed that temps were warmer than Saturday, as long as you stayed within a few inches of the shoreline. Beyond the rocks a 4-inch layer of mid-60s-ish overlaid the cold. Reaching Sewer Pipe, I debated going further but random cold currents encouraged me to play it safe. Sure enough, Stephanie noted a vicious ice patch just beyond where I turned back. Coming back through the rocks was to run a gauntlet of ice knives. After a shot of Pitsch to celebrate "A Good Swim" people hung around and chatted, reluctant to leave the idyllic scene.

Gauntlet of ice knives indeed. 

Despite the cold water we've been experiencing, the winds look like they will be from a favorable direction pretty much Wednesday through Sunday coming up, so maybe we'll luck out then with some better water temps.
