Sunday afternoon the Pod convened at Carol and Carole's in Huntington for the second annual end-of-season swimmers' gathering. The gathering provided a rare opportunity for Pod members to see one another with clothes on, to meet one anothers' spouses/significant others and children, to talk about something other than swimming (well, we did a little bit!), and to see aspects of one another not usually seen in the pool or in the open water! (also to have one's photo taken in the maw of a lemon-shark...) 
Nancy Lipira (whose homemade linzer tarts were a big hit!) summed the afternoon up best: "GREAT WEATHER, GREAT FOOD, GREAT FRIENDS = AWESOME DAY!" Those who couldn't make the party were missed, but there's always next year!
Tonight (11:13 p.m.!) marks the Equinox, the official end of Summer and beginning of Fall, but the open-water season continues...Yesterday's swim was indescribably perfect, and although the southwesterly wind quashed this morning's planned swim, we're hoping for a return to perfection for the First Swim of Autumn 2010 tomorrow at 6:30! See you in the Salt!
