Technically, I would have labelled today's water temp as "BULLOCKS!" given my reluctance to walk the plank.  The absence of a few regular Kru mates indicates that I may not be alone in this assessment.  The number of Kru mates who walked the plank, however, challenged this assessment...many of whom did so without a wetsuit.  Shiver me timbers!!!

If you're trying to rationalize why you should come out and walk the plank while the water temps are Bullocks, Baltic or just plain COLD...try thinking of it this way...."it's not every day you get the opportunity to swim in   water when the air temp is above 80 and the skies are sunny...particularly in Wisconsin!"

I would be remiss if I didn't post a thought about the passing of one of me closest Kru mates...some knew her as Phoenix...some Crash...others Robin.  In Klode Kru terminology I always considered her me First Mate.  We will miss you...and look forward to swimming again with you in the angelic waters of the after life.
