Killepitsch: Breakfast of Champions!

Last swim: 8 am Sunday

Next swims: Noon and 8 am Sat. and Sun. 

Probable swims:  6 a.m. and 5 p.m. (?) Monday-Friday

Water temp: 53.almost54
Air temp: 80s, sunny & glorious
Clarity: Nice going with the current
Crew: Showgirl,  Northshore Nancy,  Panini, Handyman Hank, Kahuna, Mr. Bubble, Mr. B's friend Angelina (?) Dragonfly

Heading down, Handyman Hank found a quarter "I'm getting paid to swim!"  He is definitely the Scavenger King.

Again the Bubble-ometer seemed to be running hot as everyone agreed that whatever the temp, it was still DANG cold.  Despite a north-running current we recklessly swam north, skittering along to Mudslide, where Showgirl & I took stock and decided it was high time to turn and reckon with the long slog back.  Showgirl took off hellbent-for-leather while I took a more leisurely approach and tried to enjoy the process.  There was actually quite a lot to enjoy as the sun was plentiful and warm and the breeze, though kicking up, was sweet-smelling as yesterday.  

Kahuna hustled us along with a surprise a.m. serving of Killepitsch!  My standards are so low, I wasn't even out of my wetsuit. "To the Church of Lake Michigan!" Mr. Bubble added a blessing in Hebrew.

Congratulations to all the Klode Kru who made a great showing at the 2021 Big Swell Swim in Madison including Lydia the Tattooed Lady, Captain, Lieutenant MJ, Cindy (?) and Mr. Bubble.  We'll show you chop!

How long the indefatigable iPhone was swimming with the fishes remains a mystery.

And finally, a memo to the KACHOW!! folks (inspired by my swim yesterday):  Love Rock could use a touch-up.

it has been a while since i swam, but is there another rock pile off the beach--I only remember 2, but there's 3 now? plus, a new mudslide immediately off the beach area?? maybe I just haven't been paying attention until now.
