Thumbs up Sunday swim.

Sunday, we took a dip in the lake down in Robert's Cove.

Not having an AED on board, I decided not to shock this 70 year old body by stepping off the swim step into the water, I went down the ladder a step at a time, then knelt on the bottom step. Splashed some water on my chest, then grabbed a "noodle" and flopped into the water.

It was somewhere between shocking and invigorating (difference could be related to the above referenced age thing). My wife asked "How's the water?" Lying through what teeth I have left (age thing again), I said "Great once you get in."

Actually, can't remember swimming off the boat on Father's Day in the past. And it actually was pretty good after a few minutes floating on the noodle, and not because we were totally numb.
