Swimming in Lake Superior

Well wading in with help and sitting on a rock 6 inches underwater facing the shore, wedged my right foot against a rock, left foot only partially wedged and my right hand grabbing a lip of the rock I'm sitting on. 1.5-2 foot waves would crash against my back, with several breaking over my head. Since the wind was from the northwest it was blowing all the warmed up top layers of water into the Duluth shores. My friends went swimming for 10-15 minutes while I enjoyed the pummeling. Both friends had to help me back to shore as the waves were still swirling around my feet.

Had a belated wedding reception on the shores of Lake Superior and watched this beautiful moonrise. Several days later the smoke from the BWCA fires were hovering all over Duluth.
