September was a whirlwind! I managed to keep up with my swim goals, hitting 17 miles for the month and 150 miles for the year. I’m looking forward to October, with its fall weather, NCAA volleyball. I’m turning 29 (+30) this Saturday. Listen to the sounds of nature and relax.

Matt Olson didn’t know it at the time, but he had just stumbled on a long-lost shipwreck — the remains of a vessel that sunk in 1887. His serendipitous find set off an investigation by the Wisconsin Historical Society.
Wisconsin boater stumbles on long-lost shipwreck in Lake Michigan
The bottom of the hull was largely intact, but the sides of the 137-foot ship had split open — likely due to 138 years of being battered by wind, waves and ice.
