We could hear the waves from the parking lot, and heading down the ramp there was advance talk about bagging the swim.

Before

MP points the way to RealCanadian



Most of the waves inside the rock piles were breaking.  Waves on the south beach were just biggish, with a few breakers.  Not sure about the north beach.

We put our feet in and felt the warm water.

Mermaid Princess and Exchange Student (welcome Ana!) put on their caps and goggles with no qualms.  Real Canadian followed suit, and they all headed north.  TTL, Hurricane, and I frolicked and chatted in the waves on the south side


After

A good time was had by all.  

Welcome visiting badass swimmer Ana, who is trying out potential new cities here on the Third Coast.  She also swam the Mackinaw Island event with FynFin.

We are wishing warm, flat water to Big Shoulders swimmers, TTL and Mermaid Princess, tomorrow.

Had a blast with you all this morning. Good luck to TTL and Mermaid Princess who are swimming big shoulders tomorrow.
