The forecast was iffy for this morning due to threats of rain and thunderstorms. But fortunately, no tempests greeted us when we met out at L1 shortly before 6:00am. The shore temperature per the marine report gave a lake temp of 54F. But I’m estimating it was closer to 52F due to the lack of sunshine.
Matt, Mike, and Nick braved the drink with just a swimsuit and capfor the out-and-back mile. I went with a DeSoto fullsuit top, swim jammers, and a neoprene cap and was darn glad that I did! I was somewhat shivery after the swim, but nothing compared to the other fellows.
But the water was calm, clean, and clear – an absolute joy to swim in. And the colder temperature puts one in a profound state of relaxation that you really have to experience yourself to appreciate.
So where were you this morning?!?

It’s called hypothermia. Be careful.
