Being one of the "Knuckleheads" who swam this morning I feel a pressing need to respond to the charge.
Let's first start with a definition of what exactly is a "knucklehead"....
noun 1. knucklehead - a stupid person; these words are used to express a low opinion of someone's intelligence
So The Patriarch thinks of me and the crew of 4 others as stupid people? Well, lets review the facts...
- Did we swim this morning? - Aye, we did!
- Was there a storm approachin' when the Kru entered the water? - Aye, that there was!
- Did we contemplate not swimmin? - Aye we did...but the Lady of the Lake was a callin!
- Who's faster, Zeus or the Klode Kru? - Zeus? Is that the nickname Matt is going by these days? Heard he won the REV3....still don't think he's faster than Sir James though...I'm going with the Kru! ...oh wait...Sir James thinks we're "Boneheads"...I need to think about this a little longer...
It would appear that the conductivity of water isn't as much of a concern for swimmers during a storm as some may believe....it's the fact that you're the highest point in the water. All points considered though, I think it still boils down to your perceived chance to win the lottery...which in my opinion this morning was...well, we did actually exit the water before the storm arrived....

Showgirl and I were there at 5:30AM but made the discerning judgement to NOT enter the water as we saw the lightning bolts and heard the thunder roar, keeping in mind that a lightning storm miles away can still shoot bolts your way. I must say though, as it is the Cap'n that steers the ship, it seems a tad unfair to call the other 4"knuckleheads", or "Boneheads", as it may be.
