When I first looked at that picture I thought he was wearing a white t-shirt. He also looks extremely miserable.

I used to think people who did this were idiots, but I think if I survive the next year, I might try it. Side note: this is probably the lowest bacteria count Lake Michigan swimmers ever see.

The guy in the yellow flippers was all the way out past the big posts. I, on the other hand, have never had a hangover cured so fast in my life as jumping in that water and getting my head under. My only issue was my lack of footwear, next year I'll wear some rubber booties or something.
