Ohio Street, September 2

Another wavy day but we, Jody and I, wanted to take advantage of the Saturday of Labor Day weekend to get me a bit more work towards Big Shoulders next week. So we decided, based on wind direction to try Ohio Street. With some of the construction on the flyover done, but not yet open to the public, and all the summer buoys put away, including the mile markers, it seemed less crowded and more inviting than recent visits. Near the beach the water was choppy but not very wavy but the farther north we swam the waves became bigger. These were hard waves and the trip north was difficult. We did not go beyond the bend, partly because we needed to get back home and partly because of the 3 foot waves. The trip back was much easier. Water was about 69 and the air was around 60.
