Au Sable Point hike and swim

Due to the August shows and a busy museum, I have not had a chance to hike for a few weeks. Wendy and I decided to hike west from the Log Slide when I left the museum yesterday. We wanted to return to the beach that we visited a few weeks ago so we could go swimming. I brought my snorkel gear and had a blast. The Jacobsville sandstone shelf extended from the shore around 100 feet. It was shallow enough that allowed me to pull myself across the surface of the water by grabbing hand holds in the rock. Temperatures were in the mid 80s, so the water felt great.
