Does the opening of the parks mean we can swim?

Thinking of hitting the water tomorrow. If for no other reason than to test my ability to make it in. May 1st seems as good a day as any to start the season. Anybody venturing in? Does the governor's new order opening parks mean the beaches are accessible again? I hope so. Any suggestions for times to get in? 12:00? 2:00? 4:00? 6:00? Any other days this weekend? Comment with your intentions... Here's a picture from the summer, just to whet the appetite.

Emergency! Everybody to get from beach!

Next Swim:  In the Year 2525, if man is still alive
Last Swim:  Sighting today, sometime before 6 pm
Water Temperature:  No fever present
Waves:  Flat
Clarity:  Sweet
Kru:  Don't Ask, Don't Tell
Shore Support:  North Shore Health Department

Northshore Nancy asked for the North Shore Health Department's notice to be posted here.  As of 6 pm today, Safer at Home means "the public beaches ain't your home!" Read all about it

This may be a loose association...ever since I heard about this, I've been having flashbacks to the movie The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming.  Those of you who've seen the movie probably understand what I mean.

Northshore Nancy also alleged that there were Kru members at Klode sometime before the order went into effect at 6 pm today.  I wish I had been one of them, or at least there as shore support.

Meanwhile, in the great state of Georgia, Governor Brian Kemp has at long last issued a "Shelter at Home" order, which became effective at 5 pm today.  But get this, Governor Kemp's order mandates that public beaches remain open, even if the local authorities had previously ordered the beaches closed.  His press secretary explained his "reasoning" as:

Because Governor Kemp’s executive order allows for exercise outside, with social distancing of at least 6 feet, the beaches are viable options for Georgians.  Read all about it

So, I'm very glad I moved back to Milwaukee from Atlanta.  For that matter, I"m glad my family moved from New York to Milwaukee when I was a kid.  

Looking forward to more sunny days
