Icy rocks and sumptuous brownies

 Last swim:12-27-20

Next swim: 1-1-21 (12 noon), Happy New Year (and good riddance 2020)!!!

Water temp:35

Waves: about 3 feet with some significant rip tide

Air temp:40

Crew:Itch, Diablo, Brick, Rosie, Phil

Shore Support: Panini, Dragonfly Riffraff, Moondaug


Slippery when frozen, so careful getting in, and out. Five swimmers ventured into the lake and swam for about 40 minutes, with one sensible 10 minute swim. As they swam out from the usual south launch, rip-tide was experienced by some. Diablo's strategy was to wait for the third wave (the big one) and dive under and through. Others chose to swim through the rock piles and past the iced over rocks. Brrr.


As the swimmers were swimming, shore support enjoyed pleasant conversation and home made brownies, courtesy of Dragonfly Riffraff. I was lucky enough to score a brownie, that was originally intended for Showgirl. I pocketed it, to enjoy later, with some whipped cream.
