New Year's Day - NOON

 Calling all Klode Kru! Come one, come all.  

Where:  Klode Beach

When:  High Noon, New Year's Day, January 1, 2022.

Who:  You, in all your inherent awesomeness.  You know who you are.

What:  Swim in your wetsuit, plunge in your skin, support from the sand.  Toast the Lake and the New Year. Rick from Boston has procured a new bottle of Killepitsch.  Expect the usual suspects.  Wash away the crust of 2021.

Why:  YOU know why, don't you.  I don't have to explain it!  If you don't know why, you probably won't be showing up.

Weather predictions:  28 degrees, wind NE 15 mph, gusts to 26, cloudy.  3-6 cm of snow.  Water this morning (the 31st) was 38.7 degrees.

I do indeed have a bottle of Killepitsch, but I forgot to buy a sleeve of the little plastic shot glasses. If anyone has something like this, please bring it.

I will be bringing a bunch of mini paper cups to facilitate toasting to Dragonfly's retirement-- I'm sure they will also work for Killepitsch. See you at noon.

Well I chickened out this morning at Klode. Then Adam’s big speech something about “no limits” was like a worm in my head. I went back to Bradford late this afternoon near a guy in a kayak and took my first frigid plunge. There is definitely a skill to getting dressed after - rookie mistake I chased my thermal sock down the beach in bare feet and abandoned it anyway.

If anyone is keen to do regular cold water dips on a weekend or weekdays after 4 pm I’m in!

I'd love to see some of the photos. Can anyone tell me how I might find Sandy on FB without violating privacy laws?

Thanks to all for making the start of 2022 such a joyous occasion. Let's hope for many more OW swims in the New Year.

RFB - I have some photos/videos from the day but I’m pretty sure they are not of you. I was enjoying a chat with your mom and assuring her you weren’t going to get sucked out into Lake Michigan. She’s so sweet. I can try and share them with you through your blogger information.

Today (sun 3/20) should be a pretty day on the water. For unrequested info, my goal is April for first icebath.
