Evanston, July 26

Lots of storms predicted the last few days, only a few showed up. With prevailing west winds this side of the Lake was calm except during storms. I gave my group a choice of days this weekend figuring that early in the morning should have less chance of a storm. The only interest was for today and only Joe and Sue actually came.

The weather this morning was beautiful, no clouds, light west wind. But the past days of west winds did keep the water cool, 68. This is the warmest we have had but pretty cool for this time of the summer. The water was exceptionally clear, we could see the bottom the whole way. The swim was otherwise uneventful, and I would classify it as excellent. Sue was glad she finally joined us.
