It was a picture perfect day for the annual Independence Day swim from Big Bay! Kudos to Moondaug, Yanica and Soapy Sophie for completing the journey from Big Bay to Atwater despite swimming against the slight chop the entire way.
Sometimes it takes years for our loyal Kru mates to earn their nicknames...and other times they just happen instantaneously. (Disclaimer...no guarantees they'll stick tho!) Christened this holiday weekend were Hot Tamale, Hot Sake (...no relation...) and personal favorite Lake-Quatch. (Oh that one's sure to stick!)
Here are a few images to remember the day by....note the hoppin' beach! I don't think I've ever seen Big Bay Beach this popular.

The teacher from Albuquerque and her swim buddy also swam to Atwater, and made the return trip back as well I think.
Anybody swim yet today? How's the water quality after all of yesterday's rain?
@Kahuna, I'd give it at least 24 hours, some recommend 3 days.
You mean she shoulda' taken that left turn at All-buh-koy-kee and ended up at Atwater?
That'll teach that wascawwy wabbit.
70.7F at 6pm. Get your patoots down to the beach!
Squatch and learn from this legend
Best swim of the season!
