First dip of the season!

Stroking was involved! Buoys were sighted, destinations discussed! What a fine thing OW is! The season has now begun! :) :D :bliss:

  • Lake Michigan for me tomorrow. Ouch! The lake is definitely on a warming trend. About 54 deg this morning at 6 a.m. I was in for 10 minutes. Air temp possibly 46-48. (Reminds me of a saying posted on a zoologist's door: Swallow a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you for the rest of the day.) It was like swimming in a Vermeer painting: lake smooth as glass, sun just up, blue water, Delft blue skies.
