Almost, almost perfect

Next Swim:  Monday, Memorial Day at Noon has been declared
Current Forecast: cloudy and 54, wind ENE 8 mph, 30% chance rain

Last Swim:  Sunday, 5/26
Water Temp:  48 by the itchometer, 46.6 by the matchmeter
Water: Super Clear
Waves: some chop, 6-8 inch swells
Air Temp:  62 and breezy, total sun with no clouds
Crew:  Itch, Diablo, Dragonfly RiffRaff, Mr. Bubble
Shore Support:  Handyman Hank, Moondaug, Cap'n

Dragonfly and I stayed in for about 10-15 minutes.  Diablo and Itch must have been gone for a half hour or more.  Definitely colder than yesterday, but it wasn't as painful as I was expecting with those low temperatures.  Cap'n didn't swim in the lake, but he did well in a race this morning, so he earned a shot. 

Found Hanks' cymbal playing monkey thingie on my handlebars when we came back up.  Looked really great!  Thanks, Hank!  I think he's a great hood ornament - I'll have to figure out how to glue him on there or something. 

Once again, best swim of the season!
