The luck of the Irish was with us on Sunday morning as we made our triumphant return to L1 after a nearly three month hiatus. But it was well worth the wait as we had nearly perfect swimming conditions along with a pretty amazing show to the east from Ma Nature.
I’ll keep this one brief and let the pics tell the story. But some quick stats – 36.3F lake temp, 34F air temp, slight swells, moderate clarity, got in 1/4 mile total without any difficulties. Looking forward to next week (a.k.a. Spring)!
