If you're reading this, kick yourself, because you missed it. Perfectly warm and clear water, beautiful sunrise, etc., etc., etc. No, you had to go out boozing all weekend, and then couldn't get out of bed and come down to the beach today, for the best swim of the season. Ah well, your loss.
Or maybe you're awake, but you're too addicted to the online shopping, to actually go for a swim (check the time stamps on the comments to yesterday's swim).
Reminder: Cap'n is taking orders for new Klode Kru swim caps. If you haven't got one, you should get a pair. If you already have cap, know that while they are very durable, excellent swim caps, no swim cap lasts forever. Do you want to risk being without a Klode Kru swim cap, when your current cap has a catastrophic systems failure? I'm sure you don't. So read the below blog, and order your cap today, so Cap't can get the order in ASAP.
(Culture Note: All these years I thought 'O Sole Mio translated to something like "Oh Me Alone." Wrong. It actually translates to Oh Sunny Day! Who knew? OK, probably millions and millions of people, but not me. Either way, it works for the today's blog title.)

Kahuna...Oh, the irony- makes me long for a 30 degree swim and an ice cream head ache the feels like an iceicle through the noggin. Where is Diablo?
Janelle Monae is on to us...Listen closely to the lyrics of the first stanza!

OK, I took one for the team, and watched the video.
Killepitsh is indeed mentioned in the first verse:
Let yo booty do that yoga
Party at the beach down in Copacabana
Sipping Killepitsch, got my black yoga pants on
The Kru is suddenly cool, fashionable and with it -- who knew?!?
There is a mention of the river race in JSOnline Today:

Nancy Northshore or Handyman Hank, I picked up one of Nancy's swim caps in the parking lot on Sunday; remind me to give it back to you, next time I see you.
Well, the Janelle Monae situation explains why Killepitsch is sold out of every liquor store in a three county area...
Furthermore, Patriarch, Mr. A, Magic Mike, Kristen, Scooby, and... woman who's name I have forgotten swam this morning and it was........ the best swim of the season. Warm water with unbelievable clarity.
Another fantastic swim this morning. Water was even warmer than last night - must have been at least 75. Calm but not perfectly flat, also very clear. There were 4 of us - Abe, Kristin (forgot her nickname), Katie (not sure if she has a nickname) and me.
It was a magical experience. Rising sun peeking out behind the clouds intermittently. Best of all - a gentle sun shower started while we were swimming back from mudslide. So beautiful seeing the raindrops on the water, at eye level, while the rising sun was peeking out from behind the clouds and shining it's warm light on the lake's surface. What an awesome way to start the day!!
Best wishes to Kristin and anyone else planning to do Point to La Pointe on Sunday!
