An intrepid group of around ten swimmers showed up at L1 and got in a swim in the 72.1F lake. I was a bit concerned what Ma Nature would present to us given the gusty wind and choppy lake conditions of the night before.
But Lake Michigan was calm and clear at 5:30am!
We didn’t get much of a sunrise until the tail end of the swim due to a stubborn cloud bank on the eastern horizon. But enough of it peeked through at Oak Street Beach to give us a nice backdrop for the return leg. So our swim back to L1 was quite pleasant – even with a rather chilly thermocline lurking 2-3 feet below the surface.
