Today was almost a carbon copy of yesterday's swim: beautiful summer-like weather at the beach, calm, inviting, and bracingly cold water in the lake. A few more swimmers, still more mild cussing and heavy breathing at the water's edge. Linda and Handyman Hank (above the waist) swam skin --no heavy breathing or cussing from them, badasses! The rest of us wrestled on the neoprene, swam north, returned, and peeled off the neoprene. The benefit comes with those reduced body temps for the first few hours of the day. Another great day for a swim.

Greg and Ted (a.k.a The Patriarch and The Cap'n, a.k.a Dos Locos) will record their excellent Lake Michigan swim adventures here. We'll provide daily updates on lake conditions, and our plans for upcoming swims. In addition we'll write some observations, ramblings, rants, and wacko theories related to Lake Michigan swimming (or not).

Handyman was nowhere near the beach--he's heading west to Laramie WY. His sidekick, NS Nancy is representing the household.
It was Mr. A.
Yeah. My bad. Sorry Mr. A. (and NSN for unwittingly assigning you a different partner). The good news is, Showgirl tends to get things right. A better blogging world is at hand!:)
