Evanston August 10

No wind! We were going to swim yesterday but it looked like it would be wavy and today was predicted to be better, so Jody agreed on a postponement on the condition we would swim today regardless of conditions. But yesterday afternoon the near shore forecast was changed to include north and northeast winds peaking at midnight but lasting through the day. So it looked like maybe I made a bad deal. But the winds didn't happen and the water was smooth and warm, 75.4, with sunny sky and almost perfect. The only complaint I had was a slight smell. But the Rio Olympics are on reminding I once tried swimming at Copacobana beach and the Olympic open water swimmers would think our smell was nothing.
