This may have been the warmest 5:45AM swim for the crew ever. Typically the surface water will cool off a few degrees overnight...especially when the overnight air temps are cooler than the water. The coolest water temp I could find along Klode's south beach was 71.7 while the Patriarch's super high tech lazer-o-meter registered a water temp of 74.

Spicing up this morning's swim were frequent 1-2 foot rolling waves coming in slightly from the northeast. Despite the waves the water clarity remained exceptionally clear and provided an crisp view of the sand along the lake bottom rolling in and out with the waves.

Similar to yesterday swimming in both directions felt relatively effortless....that's if you swam outside of the sandbar. Although if you were looking for a challenge, like The Patriarch, if you swam closer to shore the cresting waves and subsequent undertow provided for a little more challenge to your giddy-up.

With the exceptional water temps the crew plans to return this evening for a 6pm swim and again Tuesday morning at 5:45am. In all likelihood we will also be back at 6pm Tuesday and 5:45am Wednesday if you're interested in making long range plans to swim with us. :)
