Evanston, August 7

Finally the lake breaks the 70's barrier. It was 71.6 today at Evanston, thanks perhaps to a strong easterly wind. Waves, more chop than waves actually, from 1 to 2 feet. Jody has workshop to attend at Northwestern so she is detouring via the Lake on her way. So we arrive a bit early, 6AM to see the end of the sunrise. We swim to the far wall and then right back to the beach and are out by 7. A good swim. Although the bathrooms were open when we got to the beach at 6:30 Tuesday, by Thursday they are still not open by 7, so it is a beach change to get decent followed by finishing dressing at Starbucks for Jody. After a quick grande Pike I drop her off at NU and she hopes to get a ride home from a colleague.
