Mother Nature and the Lady of the Lake treated us to a beautiful sunrise and a phenomenal workout opportunity this morning. Lindsey, Robin, Mathew, Nahi, The Patriarch and I were treated to clear skies with a blazing orange sunrise on the horizon. The winds were blowing gently from the north east which resulted in 1-3 ft waves constantly rolling on shore.
The water continued its warm trend so the Patriarch and I had no problems swimming without a wetsuit this morning. The near shore water (100-150 meters from shore) was filled with sand but as you continued to swim out the water turned to turquoise and visibility improved to about 3 feet.
The journey out to the rock wall was challenge. A steady dose of waves defied you to maintain your stroke as a slight current tested your efficiency...pulling you back toward the Klode beach if you dragged your arms or legs. The trip back from the rock wall was a different story. While the waves continued to challenge your rhythm the current seemingly picked up your feet for you and propelled you forward like a torpedo. ...it's rumored that the 1/2 mile journey back for Nahi and Lindsey took approximately 10 minutes!
Upcoming Swim Plans:
Friday 11:30am - The Patriarch plans to swim from McKinley Beach
Friday 6:30pm - Swim from Klode...or at least meet at Klode Beach Parking lot
Saturday 6am - Swim from Klode

Howdy!
This is Gui again. Megan and I swam last night at Klode, the Northeast waves were challenging and provided a great workout.
We are planning on swimming on Bradford Saturday morning at 10am. If anyone wants to join. Then some volleyball right there.
Cheers,
Gui
