THE SWIM IS DOCUMENTED




In our last blog, we felt there were too many people who could not believe Julia went swimming in the lake last week. To throw water, so to speak, on any of you "doubters" out there Julia did it again, albeit with a swim suit on.
We headed down to the dock at about 2pm on March 21, armed with a sudoku, a crossword puzzle, a cup of tea, a bottle of Birra Moretti and a camera. We basked in the sun...the temp was 26C, perhaps a bit cooler on the dock...and enjoyed the start of spring.
With some coaxing from the photographer, Julia again made a splash. Admittedly, her svelte figure made a rather feeble splash, but it left the lake ice undisturbed allowing me to take a picture to prove that in fact she did go swimming with ice all around.
Lake of Bays is known by many as a very special lake. It's quiet, clean and largely undiscovered compared to the other Muskoka lakes. It's so clean that we took a picture of the bottom of the lake from our dock. You can see our reflection on the water surface, however the bottom is almost 6 feet down and it is as clear as a bell.
