My first trip into Lake Michigan this year.......GLACIER MELT:surprised::surrender:

[warthog]

That water actually HURT,it was that cold.......Marcia didn't go in,smart woman...I got waist deep,the nerves in my legs and back were protesting loudly,the pain from that cold water was too much...I thought as hot as its been,it would be warmer,but no......Im wondering what The water up North will be like when we get there.........

Winds and currents can chance the temps fast. 90's all week here so it should go up.

I went in yesterday just north of Whitehall by silver lake and the water was great. You could have swam all day. The only bad part was that there was a lot of algae in the water.
Mike is right though if the wind changes it will blow the warm water out and be replaced with colder stuff. Not uncommon for the water to go from somewhere in the 70's to the 50's within in hours.
