Wed August 13 2:20pm / Water Temp 20 C / Air Temp 80 F Today at the lake, I swam in the sea.  This time I cycled to the pier in the middle so I could swim to either side and reach another pier. The beach was full of people but not packed. And not READ MORE

Today at the sea the wind was whipping across the water, making it little furious waves that came at me too quickly. I was smart and swam with the wind, and I made it to the diving platform faster than I usually do.  I swim to the ladder on that dock to remove the extra READ MORE

Monday, September 11, 2023, 7:22pm Today at the sea, the water was choppy, the sun was shining, and the jellyfish were nowhere to be seen. Or so I thought.  When I walked up to the dock I was excited to see a man swimming in the water. I shouted out to him and asked how READ MORE

Today at the sea, there were so many jellyfish and new jellyfish. As I was walking to the dock there was a man taking a photo of the area. I asked if he was going to swim, and he said yes. So I said, “yea, I’ll swim with you.” He is visiting Sweden from the READ MORE

Saturday, August 26, 2023 Today at the sea, it was windy, so the water was choppy. It rained all day yesterday, and it was still grey today, so I was alone at the beach. There were a few campers over by the diving platform; looked like they were fishing.  I was excited to see four READ MORE

Thursday, August 24, 2023 Today at the lake, I swam with the jellyfish. And I rocked. And I think they might have, too.  It’s about a mile or more to bike there, and the bike is too small for me, so it’s a bit tricky because my feet sometimes hit the front wheel. But I READ MORE
