Evanston, August 17
A third great day in a row. Now 74 and ripples. We set off right after das Boot and had time after we finished to get our stuff and make ourselves comfortable before the lifeguards came. The bad news: e-coli again. The lifeguard chairs, which, of course, they never sit on, then have the statement
LIFEGUARD ON DUTY
NO
SWIMMING ALLOWED
which seems to sum up the job description of an Evanston lifeguard. The briefcase was lazy and did not chase us from the beach, which was nice because it was a great beach day. But Mike really wanted to swim. So when the guard posted at the water got really involved in her book Mike slipped into the water unnoticed and had a short swim. Only when he was leaving the water did she become aware and hustled him out of danger from the dreaded e-coli.
