Another lucky morning where the only real life-affirming sunshine happened at day break – and only for a few minutes. Below are a series of shots taken within the space of about 10 minutes. After that, the sun disappeared behind the unforgiving clouds where it has remained throughout the day.
Quick stats – 66.4F lake temp, 63F air temp, slight swells/chops but nothing that made the 1/2 mile swim to the beach that difficult. Wish you could have been there!
