Water Temp:  66.8

With the potential for rain looming, we swam north, with the current.  It seems like we left in twos-- Mr. A and TattooLady, Patriarch and me, followed by Pool Noodle and Ala.

The water temperature has taken a bit of a nosedive, tho it helps to remind myself that 6-7 weeks ago we would have been thrilled to swim in 66 degree water.

As we were informed during Dr. McGillicuddy's presentation last summer, warm and cold water don't like to mix, and that was definitely the case this morning.  There were frequent and abrupt changes in water temperature.

Tho dark clouds loomed all during the swim, our timing was impeccable, and the sprinkles started just as we returned to the parking lot.
