Like seagulls flocking to a pile of dead fish, warmer water temps brought Klode Kru swimmers flocking to the beach.  We had a season high sixteen swimmers.  I believe most swimmers had their longest lake swim of the season.  I'm looking forward to day soon when we can make it all the way to Big Bay.

Living up to her name, the fashion statement of the day was made by Showgirl, hopefully somebody has a picture to post on this blog or our Lake Michigan Facebook page.

P.S.  I'm trying to figure out what to do about a full moon swim on Thursday evening.  The challenge is the moon rises at 8:54PM but the Klode beach closes at 9PM, and as we've found out the hard way, malingerers are promptly ejected.  However, Renee thought Big Bay might be open until 10, but I'm not sure how to verify that.  Does anyone know?  Or have other suggestions?

Apparently, we could all have flowered swim caps:
