After yesterday's rain, it was a chilly morning for the Marathon Swim.
Paul -- just a few days before his 21st birthday -- boldly took the plunge. Brother Tim and friend Brittany opted to stay on the dock, in sweatshirts, with a cup of coffee...
Margaret and Gunni took on the Island. The trip began in the outboard boat, well bundled against the chill -- but once in the water, which was 24 degrees C, the chill went away. The water was like silk, and they had a marvellous swim.
From Iceland, they enjoy distance swimming, so it was good fun to have them in our lake for a change!
David and Leigh-Anne opted to skip the swim, and go instead for the Marathon Float. It's a big lake, we say, to each his own!
Even on a gray morning -- which has turned into a day drenched with sunshine -- the lake was still the very best place to be!
