One of the nice things about working at a wilderness camp right on a lake, is the long morning or afternoon swims. This morning Ania and I went for a swim at 6am before breakfast to Scylla Tribdis, a set of rocks in the water that acts like an island about 250 yards away. We each swam there and back twice and paddle boarded for each other twice, since you need to have a life guard at all times while swimming.
The morning water is so nice and calm, perfect to swim long distance. It feels as flat as a pool, but better because it is fresh water and the scenery is just wonderful.
In the afternoons here on my time off between lunch and dinner I love going down to the lake to our open beach to lay in the sun and go for a quick swim to cool off. It has to be one of my favorite parts of my days up here, it is so relaxing, and I have been teaching Jenny the other cook how to swim. I have never taught anyone to swim before, but she is picking up quick.
