Kru: PoolNoodle, Dragonfly, Mr. Bubble, Showgirl, TattooLady, Mr. Anonymous
Shore Support: Panini
Don't tell Mr. Bubble's wife that he swam during the beach hazard today.
You have to learn to appreciate the yin and yang of the lake. Yesterday was flat and amazing, today was wavy and amazing. But mostly wavy.
Pool Noodle said even the surfers, usually afternoon people, were out at Atwater this morning.
There wasn't too much waffling when we hit the sand. Mr. A, TattoLady, and PoolNoodle suited up and headed out, quickly, with PN returning back once for a bit of body surfing action before speeding away.
Panini declared herself shore support, while I said, "sewerpipe." And so Dragonfly and I swam after Mr. Bubble, met up, chit-chatted, and then swam a bit further. We probably turned back midway between sewerpipe and garage. PN and TL went to the birches. Mr. A went out and back in his usual stealthy fashion.
It was another short but epic swim-- definitely my biggest waves of the season. To quote Dragonfly, "Doesn't take that much lakeage to get the endorphins going." Especially when it's swimming+excitement+fear.

I didn't tell Mrs. Bubble because I didn't know there was a beach advisory - it's not my fault!
Ignorance of the law is no excuse!
Thursday night....62.6° engaging chop and clearish to the point of seeing ones hand. Brick(packing pickles), Rosie(adverse to getting in and out of the lake), We'taco(produce proper), Synchro (DEVO jr.), and Mars (the shiny girl) all truly appreciating conditions presently. Bit chilly post swim if ill prepared but a cake walk (or swim) if minor gear added to summer kit. Wool socks and a wool toque will get you up the hill comfortably.....windbreaker for extremeties and you're golden.
It's mid September....plenty of swims left......
.....for the bold!!!!
Cu on the beach.
Ha!
OK, then I plead the 5th. #presumedinnocent
