You're a braver man than I am. I try to stay within gliding distance
of land.

We were always within gliding distance of land. It was uninhabited
land, true -- but those islands would look pretty okay compared to Lake
Superior.

Although we were surprised to find how warm the water was up there. We
swam in it (admittedly, in a bay) in perfect comfort. Of course, it
was over 90 degrees, so it felt good, but it wasn't the bone-chilling
cold I would have expected.

Still, a few miles from the bay I know that water is in the 50s on the
surface. Which is why we "connected the dots" fo the Apostle Islands,
never straying beyond gliding range.
