Summer is finally officially here, and was officially welcomed by a contingent of ten Pod members who set out early this morning for a shore-hugging swim along the Causeway. Conditions were perfect for a long, languid swim, with no speeding powerboats to disturb the glass-like surface of the water -- or the tranquility of the swimmers! The water was the warmest it's been since we started the OW season, and is fast approaching bathing-suit comfortable (of course Rob Martell's been saying that for weeks, but he's crazy!). Gae, a "newbie" at the start of the season but now a seasoned Pod member, made her first round-trip to the house and back, and is now a tired but happy member of the elite "Causeway Club"! Ken and his cohort, of course, just continued swimming -- for all I know, they're still out there!
We'll have an incoming morning tide all week, so most of us will be doing a repeat of the Causeway swim tomorrow (Wednesday) and Friday (Thursday swimmers, find each other via e-mail!).
Saturday morning (June 26th) Bob Miller's Tri-Master's group will be joining us at West Neck Beach at 8:00....should be a big turnout for that! -- and maybe we'll have some new converts for the Sunday 8:00 a.m. swim!
See you in the Salt!
