Last Swim: Tuesday November 22nd 2PM
Water: 39!! Choppy and Murky
Crew: Diablo, Itch, while I took pictures from shore
So the weather is wintery and the water temp has fallen into the 30s, so I assumed, as I think any reasonable person would, swim season was over. The key word being "reasonable". I ran into Diablo today and he told me he and Itch were swimming at two. I thought he was joking but for once he was not. Photographic proof below. (If you look closely you will see that they swam in opposite directions. I didn't ask why, just one more unexplainable Kru phenomenon.)
So the water temperature can only go down a few more degrees to 32, so I figure what the heck, let's just swim all year! Drill through the ice, if necessary. Are you with us?! (Not actually me I am using the rhetorical "us", I mean Itch and Diablo and whoever else is completely nuts. My job will be to point out where to chip the bodies out of the ice)

Looks awesome, was hoping to join in a Turkey Day swim but I have a slight bronchial disturbance, not sailing either!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone"
