Emerald Bay

   Tom is taking one more swimmer across Lake Tahoe before my swim, a lady doing a width of the lake today.
   I am only going to swim 20 minutes today. I have to taper my swimming to rest my muscles and joints.
   Yesterday. surprisingly, it thundered and lightninged and rained in California!
   Then we went for a drive along the south west coast of Lake Tahoe into spectacular Emerald Bay. The drive was an experience with 3 hairpin turns on the side of a cliff to the top and then a half kilometer along a ridge with a 600 hundred foot drop on either side without a guard rail. The cloud cover prevented us from seeing the legendary emerald colour of the bay.
