Perfection: Evanston, July 9

My 15 years of predicting Lake conditions payed off. Everything seemed to be coming together so I called for a swim in Evanston for today. Joe and Jody answered the call. We got to the lake at 6:30 AM, parking was tight but there were spaces. Weather was full sun, 70 degrees, the Lake had ripples but no chop or waves, light wind from the northeast. Best of all, the water was 72 and clear all the way to the bottom. Went wall to wall. Great swim, conditions simply could not be better than this. A perfect 10, whats left to say?
