Swedish Ducks
Saturday, August 26, 2023 Today at the sea, it was windy, so the water was choppy. It rained all day yesterday, and it was still grey today, so I was alone at the beach. There were a few campers over by the diving platform; looked like they were fishing. I was excited to see four READ MORE

August 23, 2023 Weds, 5:22pm Today at the lake, I swam in the Baltic Sea for the first time. I’ve been so antsy to swim the past 10 days, while also knowing it would be a wait because of traveling and because of jet lag. Now that I’m at my residency I can swim whenever READ MORE

That was one fine adventure
Today I was a total sea witch. I was a badass. I was fearless. I got my butt kicked by the waves and exposed by the wind. I swallowed water but didn’t drown. My snorkel didn’t work, but I dove into the waves, over the waves and across the waves. The whipping sound of the READ MORE
Crazy Waves Thrilla
Today at the lake…we played “jump the waves,” aka try not to die. We arrived to actual whitecaps and gale force winds. Two of my swim buddies, K and K, walked up, and I said, “I don’t care. I’m going in.” They said, “we’re going in.” Awesome. We tried to set up under one of READ MORE
