Ohio Street, August 21

The clouds moved out right on schedule so we had a cool partly cloudy morning with light winds. Parking was a bit more congested this morning perhaps due to the air and water show later this morning but we were able to park across from Starbucks where we planned to have coffee after the swim anyway. We left our land stuff in the Mayor's new lockers by the bike rack. Apparently while I was gone Leo had had this conversation with his honor who had ridden up on his bike and wanted to know where to leave his stuff while he swam. Leo suggested lockers would have been handy and like magic they appeared within the week.

The water was 74 with a little chop and occasional swell from a boat somewhere on the lake, but not visible to us. Leo, Jody and I swam to the far end of Oak St beach and back, about a mile each way. If conditions hold for the next 3 weeks, unlikely, Big Shoulders will be a piece of cake for us.
