Last Swim: Memorial Day Monday @ Noon

Shore Support: Charlie,
Well, as so often happens, the first real days of summer are on Memorial Day weekend. Just a few weeks ago, people were still very much in the "bitch about unseasonably cold weather" mode; flipping out over a little bit slushy snow earlier in May, bringing up traumatic memories of snowfall on May 10, 1990. But now, all is right with the world, equilibrium has been restored to the universe and the weather is complying with everyone's expectations.
So, this was a first swim of the year day for some - first swim skin in fact for several - Cap'n, Panini, Neo, Linda the Lamprey, Moondawg. Panini also styling her new DIY haircut - done with scissors and razors, no electricity.
Synchro verbalized something I had been thinking while out on the water - today was like July 4th last year - the chop and current was such that it was steering some of us to swim further and further out.
Next swim time - 4:30ish Tuesday? Forecast looks good - 74 and partly cloudy.
