Last swim: 6am Thursday (and others, I'm sure)
Next swims: Weekdays 6 a.m and 6 p.m., Sat/Sun 8 a.m. and noon
Water temp: high 60's... STILL!
Air temp: low 50's
Waves: delightful swells
Clarity: no
Kru: Mermaid Princess, Showgirl, Mr. Anonymous, Linda the Lamprey, Flipper Guy, Ala
Both Mermaid Princess and I agreed later that it was touch and go whether we would leave our warm houses to swim today. It's darker and colder in the morning now... fyi.
But as usual, the rewards were great.
The water is still warm.
The gentle swells pushed us home.
On the return trip the sun escaped the clouds and lit up the shoreline so that every tree and leaf and rock was sharply defined.
Usually by the end of the swim I'm ready to be back on shore, but today I felt like I could have and should have kept on swimming.

Unexpected bonus: running into Linda the Lamprey as she lef the beach.

Beautiful pics of the Kru and big Lake M. Did anyone happen to see the waterspouts offshore on Weds morn? Several were reported and photographed, but may have been well south of Klode. What I saw were nasty clouds coming in south of Hoan Bridge.
Yes, great post and pixs. Anybody interested in organizing some type of outing to Klode Octoberfest apres swim noon Saturday?
@ Kahuna, Isn't there a law that states something like he who makes a proposal is responsible for implementation?
OK, kind of cool, even if she says she would never do it in Lake Michigan:

At today's noon swim, Sandy said she went Flamingo hunting this morning up to Port Washington, but she struck out. Didn't see any.
