I like Paris’s green leg warmers. Snazzy.

Not much paddling on the lake. Took this a couple days ago.

Are those ice covered rocks or big chunks of jumbled ice?

Those are ice dunes starting to form. As a kid there were always warning signs and PSAs on TV to stay off the dunes. Sometimes they get really high and hollow out inside. I have seen them 20+ feet tall.

A guy I went to school with was the first reported person to cross Lake Erie on foot. He and another guy took off one morning with 2 PB&Js and a thermos of coffee telling the wife he would call her from Canada around dinner time. It was closer to 4am when they got across and were lucky they didn’t die. A few others tried and then the coast guard put a stop to it.

a few have swam it non stop in the summer.

Note to self: Do not move to an area where ice dunes are an actual thing. :grinning:

To continue the SOF pics…
Not sure if you remember this build or not Jeff but I always appreciated your comments and advice through the process.
Take care,

Hope you slept better this time. If so, what made a difference for you.

Better. Not great but I don’t usually sleep well on the first night in a new place, and I wasn’t tired (we did the long paddle the day after). But I was much more comfortable as it was much cooler (low 50s) and the inflatable pad I got was much better. I’m sure during the race I’ll be so tired I could sleep anywhere!
