The water away from Klode's rock piles was noticeably warmer and the water away from the shore was also considerably clearer. Speaking of adventures, today's journey took us up to Cedar Grove and back. Obviously, some of us are better at swimming than it would appear during our swim adventures.
(.that we know of.) Accentuating that stat is that one of us doesn't have kids. An interesting statistic that was revealed was that between us we have a total of 12 kids. Not bad for day highlighted by grey skies and a sudden fog that similar to Friday morning rolled in very quickly during the swim and hid the Klode rock piles if you were more than 100 meters from shore.
#June 13 2011 morning sentinel skin
The Captn-o-meter was on the fritz this afternoon.but the unofficial toe test and later 5 minute skin swim placed the water temp just shy of 60. Tomorrow we swim at 1pm.I wonder if the Mother Nature and the Lady of the Lake will warm up by then? While it may not look likely wondrous things have been known to happen.Ĭlarity: murky nearshore / considerably clearer offshore Ahhh, this sure be livin' large!!Ĭrew: The Patriarch, Diablo, Lane, Chris, Chris, Dave, David, Slip-n-Slide, Capt'nĬonsidering all the rain we've received and how dark and murky the water was just a few days ago it wouldn't have been surprising to find the water quality to be poor this evening.but instead it was exceptionally clear.Ĭonsidering the cool air temps and lack of sun it wouldn't have been surprising if we had a skeleton crew this evening.but instead we had our largest group of the year.Ĭonsidering the water temp was a mere 53.2 this evening it would not have been surprising to see some crew members abandon ship before walking the plank.but instead each and every crew mate walked the plank and logged at least a minimum swim to the north down spout and back.Īlso considering the water temp of a mere 53.2 this evening it wouldn't have been out of the ordinary for everyone to turn around at the garage.but instead every crew member at least made the garage and the majority of the crew made it all the way up to mudslide before returning home. To celebrate this afternoon's unexpectedly pleasant swim conditions we hoisted 10 shots of Pitsch to the wind. A few others, (Slip-n-slide, eRun, Chris, Dave), ventured further up to 3 piers before heading back. (.although there were a few pockets of cold water to remind you how temperamental the Lady of the Lake can be.) Certainly warm enough to support a 40 minute swim up to the mudslide and back. The water today was exceptionally clear and the surface water for the most part was comfortably in the upper 60's to around 70.
As fate would have it, our decision turned out to be an exceptional one. The Patriarch, Diablo and I were a bit skidish at first about whether or not to swim skin but when The Patriarch declared with his trademark crazed eye stare that he was in for skin, Diablo and I too knew we would share the same fate of walking the plank minus a wetsuit. The water at Klode's south beach measured anywhere from 62-65 depending on where you were standing. Crew: The Patriarch, Diablo, Kahuna, Slip-n-Slide, eRun, Crash, Riptide, Chris, Dave, Capt'nĪhoy mates!! It sure was a fine day to walk the plank for our biggest crew of the year.
