Evanston Thursday September 14

Same spot, different Lake. After almost 2 weeks of waves the water was absolutely flat by the beach, 1 inch ripples further out. We did have fog all the way to the beach where suddenly the fog lifted and the lake was too bright to look at. But then patches of fog obscured the sun. But we always had 100 yards or so of visibility and never got out of sight of the trees on shore. Jody loved the pool-like flatness so I had a hard time keeping up. Relatively speaking I'm faster in the waves. Both the water, 67.2 and air were warmer than recent swims but the fog and flatness made it seem much colder. But we had a great wall to wall swim.
