Sunday Swim

We capped off the weekend by swimming in Lake Keowee on Sunday. The water temperature was perfect—not "bathtub warm" and not yet too cold. We're saving the sailing for colder, windier days later in the fall/winter, and right now just using "Pudgy" as our Lake Keowee swim platform while "Tippy II" sits on the trailer. Getting out of the water onto Pudgy is more difficult than onto Tippy II, but it's been a disappointing drought year on Lake Hartwell, and our first summer when we could not use the power boat. We were hoping that either of the G, H, I, or J Atlantic hurricanes would bring some water our way, but they all missed us (Ike is projected to head towards Houston and isn't likely to turn NE). Still, we've gotten better at anchoring and docking the sailboat.
