Livin' Large...indeed that the Klode Kru was today!  We took our show a few miles down south to Atwater Beach to venture out fer a ship wreck swim and to plunder the spoils of the Shorewood Men's Club Parrrty. 

Joinin' the Kru fer her first ever swim in Lake Michigan was Heidi who is a seasoned vet of the Southern California Pacific Seas.  (...did ya' now that the nights can get as cold as 37 down there...and even at that temp Heidi is rumored to have ventured out fer a swim!)  Not surprisingly Heidi walked the plank and swam skin this afternoon.  Indeed she will fit in quite nicely with this Kru...welcome aboard!!

The water temp of 57 accompanied by calm and clear water conditions were a pleasant surprise....nearly perfect for exploring the Shipwreck.  Following our swim several of the Kru members walked the plank a second time sans their wetsuits before enjoying our customary round of Pitsch. 

Of course if yer a Kru member you know what it's like to be a winner...and to the winners go chicken dinners (...or if you prefer BBQ rib dinners...) a pint or two of grog, abundant sunshine and festive music.  All were waiting for us as we returned from our swim....which of course we took full advantage of while we shared stories of mermaids and plundered treasure.  Indeed we are livin' large!
