September goes out with a chilly wet Friday

Looks like another weather related Happy Hour shutout this Friday. High of 54 and showers!?! The last part of September is usually a great time to swim laps. Warm afternoons keep the pool at a good lap swim temp. Alas, not this year.

We may, I hate to say it, close the pool soon. The 10 day forecast calls for a high of 72 on 10/4 and 65 for that Friday. We'll keep an eye on how temp are trending. It appears 10/5 might offer a slight chance for HH. I'll update as we get closer.

All in all a good swim summer. We greatly enjoyed the Happy Hours and the company for weekend and week day swims. Your friendship is much appreciated.

Just to see what happened, I did purchase a PowerBall and Mega ticket for last weekend with no Happy Hour scheduled. Once again nothing - zero - zilch.

Looking like a NO GO for Happy Hour 9/23

The weather report is cool and rainy for this Friday. Maybe next Friday?

We had a great time on Kelleys Island for the Poker Paddle of 9/17. Wind kicked up a bit and they had to adjust the route to avoid the worst of the waves. From the beach at the State Park to the NW corner of the island we hit some 2 to 2 1/2 footers starting out. The rest of the paddle was pretty easy until we got back to the NW corner and back to the beach. This time we saw several 3 footers and what we think were a couple 4 footers. Yikes! Paddle hard and don't stop!

We saw Mary Beth Fulton and Kelley O'Toole on Kelleys Island. Met Kelley's husband Mike. Had a good time talking to them and had a few drinks together.

Wonderful days for a bike ride on Sunday so we paddled Saturday and peddled Sunday.

Big thanks to Brien and Chris for helping with Loki. It was obvious he was well cared for.

Below are some pictures from the the Low Country Boil of September 4.
