Warm Enough for a Dip?
[Photo: I walked straight into the deep end]
The tall, stout waves along the north shore of Lake Erie were both cool and inviting yesterday, and seconds after I'd tossed my T-shirt onto a beach towel I was chest deep in the water.
"I'll stay in just long enough to blow the dust off," I said to myself.
"I'll stay in just long enough to blow the dust off," I said to myself.
Unfortunately, I misjudged the height of the first wave - I was having trouble with the footing at the same time - and my old, trusty pocket camera got a soaker*.
In my lifetime I have taken dips in colder waters (summer of 2007, at Hattie's Cove on Lake Superior) but not at such a late date in the year. And, the skies were so clear yesterday, some of the photos seem to be record-breaking as well (in my humble opinion).
Incoming! Even more refreshing than Key Lime ice cream!
The fellow in the red T-shirt exits the lake a few seconds before me.
Round Two, coming up!
Camera is dried off and still taking photos.
In we go again!
After a quick towel-dry I headed for The Corner View Cafe for a BLT, coffee and a Key Lime cone. All three items were the best of the year, as car after car and bike after bike toured past my corner table.
If weather allows, I shall return.
*Three 30-second videos did not download this morning, so something is definitely fishy inside my old camera. Rats.
