Evanston, August 25

A little less wavy, and a little warmer: 69. This time we could swim to the vicinity of the far end of the far wall. We didn't want to actually touch as there was a lot of wave action against the wall and rocks by this part of the wall made it somewhat dangerous. For the first time we noticed the cause: according to the flags there was a stiff south wind. This had not been so obvious by the beach. Thus a tough swim back, but we have had worse. When we were done it felt like we had actually accomplished something. Again we were content in the park which was just as well as two briefcases were present. The water was open again today.
