Big Shoulders 2009

Ok, so the more they email me, the more I get nervous about the water temp. Last year it was 69 which stung to get in, but it made for a nice swimming temp. By the end, though, my fingers and toes felt a little numb, but that could have been tired (??). But this year, it could be up to 10 degrees colder?! What to do when the coolest water I can find here in Cincinnati is 80?

    According to Phil Dodson's thermometer it was 66 degrees at Ohio Street Beach this morning. My guess is that it was closer to 65 degrees when you got away from the beach. It was a little choppy, but when I turned back at the breakwater I could clearly see the orange buoy 1/2 mile away. It was a little overcast so the rising sun wasn't a distraction. Truly sublime conditions! I'm looking forward to next Saturday.
