A perfect summer's day brought out everyone. The beach was littered with swimmers, boaters, sunbathers, families, kayakers, young lovers, rock skippers, dogs, and dragonflies. On our way north we dodged between boats and the people swimming off of them. I stopped to talked to one group, who told me that Klode Beach and Whitefish Bay is the best kept secret in Milwaukee. I agree.
Perry's kids kept pace with us along the beach, and we swam skin well over a mile while the sun danced on the bottom. A big current made the return to the beach almost effortless. A special day.

(1)I'm swimming Tuesday at 6PM.
(2)Anyone interested in coordinating transportation for the Pirates Plunge? I quote, "...transportation from Bradford Beach is not provided back to the boat launch downtown."
Beth, I suggest we meet at Bradford Beach about 6:30 to take the water temp and plan our strategy (my strategy is to hang on to Diablo's legs and have him tow me to the beach). We can form car pools from there.
