It was one of those morning's where things weren't quite clicking. The Patriarch arrived at Klode only to quickly depart and then arrive again. Two crew members had identical wetsuits that didn't appear to be identical at first. (Diablo eventually figured out that the reason the wetsuits looked different was because one crew member had inadvertently put their suit on backwards.) And then there were two crew members who decided to go skin began to walk to the plank and then decided to go with a wetsuit. One of these crew members would eventually go skin again after having difficulty with his wetsuit zipper.

Adding to the chaos was this morning's water temp. Initial readings off of Klode's south beach registered 62. Klode's southeast beach read 60. As we would soon discover during our Garage and back skin swim, these temps were more the exception than the norm this morning. A subsequent Captn-o-meter reading 15ft off of Klode's southeast beach registered a water temp of just 55.

Despite a chilly & chaotic start to the day we'll be back for a double dip this evening at 6 bells. See ya' then!
