The Wind Changes Again

Next Swims: Mon - Fri 3:30pm, and random morning swims
Saturday/Sunday at Noon

Last Swim: Saturday 8AM, and undoubtedly, there was also a noon swim.
Water Temp: low 40's-- didn't take a reading
Air Temp: low 30's and windy
Clarity: excellent, but stirring up
Waves: out of the south and building
Kru: Dragonfly, Showgirl, Mr. Anonymous


In a surprise turn of events, Dragonfly and I rendezvous'd at Klode at 8am this morning.  In an even bigger surprise, Mr. Anonymous also showed up.

Very, very impressively, Mr. A swam in just lava pants + boots + gloves.

Dragonfly and I arrived pre-dressed in full neoprene.  The beach was sunny and beautiful, but with a stiff wind, once again from the south.

That south wind provided a huge push, and it felt like we were coasting all the way to the garage.  The return trip was a comical contrast as we worked hard to get back to Klode.

Mr. A was fully dressed and departed soon after we returned.  I flailed around, and finally ended up dressed, gleefully with mostly warm feet.

The effort to get ready, swim, and recombobulate was too great to document with photos, so I'll leave you with these scenes from my part time job:
