Finally! The freakishly cold weather of the Memorial Day weekend, which morphed into the freakishly hot weather of the ensuing week, eventually moderated into the blissfully temperate temperatures of the weekend -- so the West Neck Pod's first swims of June were absolutely glorious! The water temperature was comfortably up to the mid-60's,the wind was from the southwest, the tide was outgoing, and -- well, there really aren't words to describe it...so here are some pictures (and videos, if they post properly...)...
