The water conditions were absolutely Fan-tastic Saturday afternoon....especially when you take into consideration the date. The calendar may say it's nearly October but the exceptional swimming conditions would make you think its the end of August.
Today's swim was nearly a carbon copy of last Saturday's. The air temp was a tad bit cooler...upper 70's vs mid-80's...and water temps slightly cooler...upper 60's vs the plus side of 70. Still more than comfortable for logging a long swim without a wetsuit....and a picture perfect day to be on the beach and in the water.
As was the case yesterday the water clarity was pristine. The sandy lake bottom could be easily seen in 15-20ft of water while the color sported a Caribbean like hue.
Today's swim adventure took The Patriarch and I from north beach south down to the sewer pipe and back and included a little sight seeing / treasure hunting along the way. Both on the way out and on the way back we stopped to explore the sunken cannon. With the exceptional water clarity the distinguishing characteristics of the cannon could be easily seen. Nearby we also found other ancient artifacts that have become partially submerged in the lake bottom.
Elapsed time for today's swim was approximately 50 minutes...although to be honest it felt more like 25-30. Visually it appeared as if there was a current moving from south to north but the swim in both directions felt effortless and swift. Perhaps from the excitement of today's treasure hunt?
Sunday's plan is to swim at 10:30am from Klode. Come on out if you can!
