Just a Quick Dip

 

Staying healthy, or something, with regular cold-water immersions.  I found a hole in the ice of the creek near the house for a plunge one sunny day, and a new friend invited the Sunday swimmers to her lake house on the West side of the lake.  It was much nicer than East Shore Park.

One day at East Shore when we were expecting calm water, we arrived to find this mass of ice chunks riding large swells.  It was tough to get in without having a 50 lb. chunk of ice crash into your shins.
