Evanston, August 26

Lots of things have prevented me from lake swimming but finally with Jody back from the eclipse we were able to go. The prediction was 1-2 feet, South wind, east waves which didn't sound too bad. It was closer to 2-3 feet once we got off the beach. We did most of a full swim but avoided the walls because of the waves. It was hard work, but worth the effort. Water was a pleasant 70.5 degrees.
