This morning's swim -- under a cloud-covered sky -- was distinctly chillier than the last several have been (with Newsday pegging the water temperature at a mere 61 degrees. Brrrr. Still, we stalwart eight (Carole, Margot, Ken, Rob, Mike, Chris, Paul and I) plunged in to the glass-like water for what turned out to be a lovely and invigorating "Causeway" swim, with the more fully clad of us (those wearing full wetsuits) continuing on to the southern buoy and back (Margot and I, wearing sleeveless wetsuits, and Rob, wearing hardly anything at all, along with Carole and Paul, opted to retreat to the beach and our sweatshirts. Of course, we're doing it all again tomorrow, with Rob inviting guests to join him for an early ("in the water by 7:00 a.m.") swim, and the rest of us lazies taking the plunge at a more reasonable 8:00 (it is the weekend, after all!). Good news: The gate was open for us at 6:15 this morning; let's see what tomorrow brings! See you on the Beach!
