Evanston, September 12

As the season winds down we want to take advantage of any opportunity to swim. Yesterday afternoon when it became apparent that the predicted storms for this morning would be at worst a light rain, I hastily called a swim. Joe and Ken responded favorably. The predictions were right on, a light drizzle with air 70 degrees, which is about 10 degrees warmer than recent early morning temperatures. The water was almost flat with some surface ripples and some lazy long 6inch swells. And it was still 68 degrees, which may not last given the current westerly winds. It was an uneventful swim, but something worth savoring this late in the season.
