Sunny Skies, air temps comfortably in the 70's, a gentle breeze and kids swimming in the lake with inner tubes....all great signs that preceded this evenings swim. Of course a water temp reading above 60 for the first time this year was an exceptional surprise! While my swim this evening may have been a bit lonely the welcome back to shore wasn't. Joining me to celebrate today's pleasant conditions and the signs of good fortune was none other than The Patriarch who is preparing his official proclamation for his return to the lake as we speak! ...also joining in on our festive celebration were extra special bonus guest appearances by Gumdrop and Wonder Woman. Stay tuned for upcoming posts featuring Wonder Woman who will answer all those deep dark mysteries that you may be wondering about. :)

Greg and Ted (a.k.a The Patriarch and The Cap'n, a.k.a Dos Locos) will record their excellent Lake Michigan swim adventures here. We'll provide daily updates on lake conditions, and our plans for upcoming swims. In addition we'll write some observations, ramblings, rants, and wacko theories related to Lake Michigan swimming (or not).

Next swim: Friday 6 AM

Air Temp 6o something
Waves: Smooth

Crew: Gumdrop,Heidi,Show Girl, and mystery person
Heidi and I swam skin, as Show Girl (ironically) swam suited up, for a trip that took us about half way between Cedar Grove and Mudslide. MIA is Mr. Ducky, I'm afraid one of the seagulls may have made off with him :(.
My 6 PM swim was 5 minutes too late. Arriving at Klode at 5:35, I donned my running shoes and did a quick 20 minute run. As I arrived back at my car, the first rain drops fell. But no problem, it's only rain. But then I heard the thunder. But wait, it's off in the distance. I probably have about 30 minutes. Shoes off, grabbed my bag to walk down to the beach when I saw the lightning and lots of it! I should have swam first!
Hey. I want to swim in Lake Michigan with you! I am coming to your area this weekend and I've never even seen Lake MI before. I'm an old (50)lap swimmer who loves to swim open water. May I join you? Tammy : )
Anyone up for a 6pm swim tonight (Thursday) ? I could go earlier, too. I'll be there unless the weather turns bad.
Tammy: Yes, swim with us! Google Klode Park in Whitefish Bay, and meet in the parking lot at the time posted in the blog.
Are these open to anyone? Is there some hazing involved?
All are invited. No hazing 'cept by the Lady of the Lake...and she is unpredictable and cruel!
I will be there tonight (Thursday) at 6 to swim....hopefully without the t-storm that foiled me yesterday.
