eclectic.. what you said makes sense- it was pretty easy to peel .. until I got to my calf- then it kinda got stuck
CC- we have 2 good lakes near here, one has much colder water generally though the water is amazing- various hues of blue/green/aqua- grwing up here I remember easily seeing down 20-30ft to the bottom- unfortunately that is not the case anymore- in that lake on a good day you can see maybe 10 ft. Today we were in the other lake- it is warmer though doesn't seem as clean- many many canada geese- pooping everywhere (yuck!). It was quite wavey - the wind had come up- generally this lake is a good choice though since they have bouys marking a triangle so the swimroute around the triangle is about 500m.
LBTC I'll take the butterflies if they help get the darn thing off- I think it would have been nicer if it was sunny- maybe not as easy to "sight" the bouys if the sun was in my eyes but it waould have been warmer getting out out the water- the wind was chilly!
