Evanston, July 31

Another nice day. We had expected some waves but there were only gentle 4 inch swells. But while I was fighting with my goggles, Jody discovered there were pronounced currents where we didn't expect them. After further exploration they seemed to be going in random directions and often in circles. So the maybe the waves were horizontal rather than vertical? But from a swimming standpoint they were not so noticeable because of their local nature. So it wasn't any harder to swim one direction than the other. When we started the sky was perfectly clear with water 74. But when we finished there was a dark cloud in the area which had been totally unpredicted. We drove through some areas of light rain going home but then this rogue cloud departed and the rest of the day was sunny again.
