The traditional Klode Kru New Year's Day swim/dip was a great success!  There was still a robust Kru, despite competitive venues including Bay View Beach (with a bonfire), and Bradford Beach (with saunas).  WE had Moondaug's cooler of warm water and also our own small bonfire down the beach.

Swims ranged from skin "shriek & dips" to full-on wetsuit voyages, with every permutation in between.  Efforts were rewarded with Killepitsch, Twisted Chai, Fireball, and TTL's amazing Mediocre Homemade Cinnamon Rolls.

I do believe New Year's Day is my favorite Holiday.

Also - if anyone picked up Mr. Dragonfly's folding blue canvas chair, please let me know!
