My nice little chest cold turned into full-on bronchitis later on in the week, so I decided to sleep in a bit on Saturday versus catching the sunrise. I arrived at Ladder #1 just before 6:00am to discover that Chris, Carol, and Danny had already set out. The water was absolutely pristine at 70F, so I opted to go with just the jammers and thermo shirt.
Dave arrived decked out in his scuba gear and spent the better part of the next hour exploring the lake. I took off to do my out-and-back to Oak Street Beach. We had a few slight rollers to make things interesting, but the weather was perfect and the water was magnificent. Chris and Carol did a 3-mile out-and-back all the way to Ohio Street Beach, and Ladder #1 welcomed new a Lake Monster to the crew. Congratulations Ann!
Perfect morning
