Swimmingly

 What a wonderful way to start the day. Our swimmers gather at the Main Dock on Thursday mornings. Our boat escorts come drifting alongside too. Today was my 'perfect swim' -- I had a boat for every swimmer.

A comment was made about Blair being awake at this hour -- he was not only awake, he was in kayak, ready to paddle along while Tom swam.  Up, yes, but we're not quite sure we can say "dressed". Like Anya, who was swimming, he showed up in p.j's, which we are told is the new formal wear.

 With two swims on the go, one to the Point and Back (1 km.) and one coming back from the Island, it was great to have so many canoes out.  Martin and Daniel kept pace with Gunni.  He is a distance swimmer, so needs a steady paddling escort!  Last week, he was at a different resort on the lake, and swam around Langmaid's Island! That's a long way too!

It was the first time at Bondi for Jenn, but not for her friend Melissa who grew up at Bondi and who got engaged on our Lookout.

After the swim, it's back to the cottages for breakfast and coffee. The sun was hot, the water was silken, and at that time of day it is quiet and peaceful out there in the middle of the lake. The perfect start to the day.
