Evanston, July 19

Yesterday was predicted to be wavy but today was to be flatter so I chose today. Several people who said they would come with us canceled so it was only Ken and me. Wavy usually brings warm so I worried when I passed an old guy leaving the lake who said: "sonny, this will wake you up". It did, the water was only 65. But it seemed the sun was about to come out of the clouds so that would have been fine. Unfortunately the sun didn't stay out so it wasn't very fine. Ken and I had discussed trying a longer route, but decided to do the usual. It was flat with long low swells which should not have affected us, but Ken was a little dizzy when we were done. There was a little current as well, but not really a problem. An OK swim but not great.
