My first swim of the year, May 20th, was actually warm (by Slocan Lake standards). And, as you can see, beautiful! I had forgotten to bring my swim suit from Vancouver, but no other creatures about except a pair of golden-eye ducks, and they didn't seem to mind a large human slipping briefly into their pond.
Yesterday, May 24th, was a different matter. After the warm weather and high-snow melt, the lake was several feet higher and many degrees colder. Brr! I plunged in and out again PDQ. Then the much-needed rain came.
Jealous! Luckily I also had my first swim of the year on sunday may 24 at MC + Alejandro's. Quick but oh so nice after some hot gardening.!
