Ohio Street, July 14

Still not much interest by our Lake group in going to the Lake, and Jody needed to be somewhere early so Jody and I left my house at 5:30 AM. We had planned to go to Evanston but the weather radar indicated a small storm system that looked like it would go just north of us there, rather than take the risk we decided to go to Ohio Street. We got there by 6 and parking was a little tighter than it has been. Swimmers were already in the lake, but not so many as later. The water was 76 with just a little chop, about the same as our swimming pool. We started out with a few clouds blocking the sun but by the time we left the sky was clear. Keeping an eye on my watch we were able to swim to the official end buoy and back with still plenty of time to stop for coffee to go and for Jody to get home. A nice swim, even if the water was shallow.
