Next Swims:
Mon-Fri 6AM and 5PM
Saturday/Sunday 8AM and Noon
Last Swim: Wednesday 6AM
Water Temp: 58
Air Temp: perfectly warm
Clarity: clear near shore, cloudy further out
Waves: nearly flat
Kru: Tattoo Lady, Showgirl, Dragonfly, Amy, Angela, Cindy, Forger, Teri, Mr. Bubble, Guy who Mostly Ignored Us (but swam skin so he's a badass), and Diablo on the early shift
Shore Support: Jackie on her SUP
Well once again, Diablo advised us to stay on top of the water. This time, it was not terribly helpful advice. The water was mostly cold, with pockets of slightly warmer water and pockets of colder water that would take your breath away, the way cold air does in winter.
Anyway, nearly everyone wrestled on their wetsuits and swam north.
As I swam, I grumbled about the cold water and feeling constricted by my wetsuit. Then I reminded myself to savor the beauty of the amazing flat water, the sunrise, the shoreline, and our incredible good fortune to live near Lake Michigan.

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).

It was so calm and clear and such a beautiful sunrise, but those cold pockets were arctic. Another great morning for a swim. I’m so happy I found this group of crazy swimmers. Thanks for being so friendly and letting me tag along.
