For the past several years, I have made an annual resolution to swim across our part of the lake at least once before autumn. This year autumn seems to be setting in early and the lake is already a little chilly. Yesterday I decided it was now or never for the 9/10ths of a mile ordeal.

Sue served as photographer and oarsman, working perhaps harder than I did since she had to row back across the lake with me in boat. Her pictures say it all. Click on them to see larger versions.
