Several swimmers new to Lake Michigan have come on board. Despite rough seas they took the plunge. A tough introduction to the lake but a great accomplishment. Congratulations on your baptism into the Klode Kru. You are all troopers!

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).

Yeah, I hope our 3 newbies today come back some other day. It was pretty big water today for swimmers who haven't tried the Lake before. It get's easier, and a smooth, calm, clear, flat lake is a completely different experience.
Well, on the Kahuna scale, I think those waves had to be around 3-6 feet, and on the fun scale, I'm thinking maybe a 7 :).
