Swimming the LSC Channel

One reason I was looking forward to living at the Land Stewardship Center again was because I planned to swim in the lake during the dog days of summer. As it turns out, the seaweed is thick enough in the lake to prohibit doing laps. A morning spent collecting the seaweed provided a decent supply of garden mulch, and also opened up a channel starting at the dock. Thus I can now swim laps in the channel, which is sort of like following a road, with thick tangles of seaweed bordering both sides of it.
