A beautiful morning at Klode beach this morning, and a fantastic 45 min swim. The water was calmer, clearer, and warmer than yesterday. I think the Cap'n may have had too much rum last night, he kept veering further and further offshore. We could barely see Robin and Linda who were much closer in.
But it is gorgeous out there. Some spots we could see bottom way down (20-30 feet?), other spots the water was a translucent turquoise.
The only disappointment is that we're near the end of July and the water has yet to warm to the point where we can swim comfortably without wetsuits. Looking at the web reports, it appears the water is much warmer at the beaches behind the breakwall, South Shore and Bay View (aka Pirates cove). If anyone has been there, I would appreciate a report. Also, it seems to be quite a bit warmer at North Beach in Racine.
We want to do a longer swim this weekend, maybe we should move our location from Klode to one of those warmer beaches? If anyone has any thoughts, please reply to this post.
Tomorrow (Friday): 6:30 AM at Klode
This weekend: Longer swim, time and place to be determined.

Hey guys. Reto and I were out at Pirates Cove on Monday. I thought it was plenty warm, with a wet suite, but very murky. There were some weeds but they were easily avoidable. I've only been to Klode once but Pirates Cove was significantly warmer.
