Moored floating Lesa already waiting for us all swimmers and friends discover the satisfaction now we're back in 9.
The stage is scheduled non-stop until Meina and is probably the longest of all those that we have come so far, although you can shorten it a bit 'cutting along the Gulf of grooves.
when to leave and gray but the rain stopped and we dive in front of you knowing a lot of 'miles, and a lot of strokes to be done.
begin to make progress swimming around very long scree Erno of the stream, passing some magnificent gardens at the beginning, even in the perfectly manicured hedges and railings overlooking the lake, behind which one can see magnificent villas backward. Then we come
towards the mouth of the river, where a lot of boats are still to fish with rod and I would want to know what they are undermining, even if the banks start to see some 'of alborelline.
It's funny to go through the form below finning fishermen and would almost want to show them that where they have dropped the line and there is nothing that they should move back to 100 m, where swarms of little fish, but the mutual embarrassment is palpable No one asks us where we come from and where we go, even though they probably have never seen a dozen yellow balloons parade along the coast and disappeared from their sight within minutes.
front of the estuary bottom is sandy or gravel lot small and, where sinks, it still reads pretty well defined the line of the classical ring of algae that once lined the lake wherever this is not going down too quickly.
In fact, at least from what we've seen so far, the worst condition of the aquatic vegetation is located within the Borromeo Gulf, and from Ghiffa or better Oggebbio Lesa north and south are still a bit 'aquatic plants, however, almost exclusively family miriophillum and this could possibly coincide with the fact that the worst pollution from heavy salts, they settle on the bottom and then to poison him, there were historically because of the industries from the Ossola Toce and Cusio.
If so, and we talk about a process probably started at least 25 years ago, aquatic plants, for example, Pallanza, have died, may be to reintroduce it, without waiting for time immemorial, you can simply replant groped and I remember that every branch seaweed lying on the bottom soon chased by the plant roots dating back strongly towards the surface and the sun and I refuse to believe that the situation today is so serious that this does not happen again as it has always been.
I intend to try when I have time, even planting elodea dense that I finally found abundant during VIACOLMARMO! dell'Incile abandoned in the basins of the Panperduto Villoresi. A
word should be spent on flowering of anabena, single-celled algae that are invading the last few years many pre-alpine lakes including surprisingly Lake Garda and Lake Maggiore, as they are surprisingly Oligotrophic lakes.
I do not want to dwell on complex scientific issues, but the daily running ARPA monitoring progress of the bloom of this alga, which is considered potentially toxic to the liver and the respiratory muscles.
We will go through these stages to swim in large expanses with a strong odor while the swimmers in all the coastal dive safely in this mass unpleasant looking and we hope that does not prove long-term hazards.
Sometimes the visibility is difficult and sometimes not for the presence dell'anabena, but surprisingly for the enormous number of young fish that swim in front of our diving mask, secure them with thousands of pinholes for eyes and I still wonder why some features of coastline is devoid of life teeming with fish and some other, perhaps if we had the answers we could create breeding areas and facilitated reincrementare fish populations.
across the Gulf of Solcio cutting through the buoys anchored boat and face the suddenly quite naturally preserved in front of the poor Villa Cavallini, home to an Agricultural Institute, which is in increasingly dire conditions.
Many trees are immersed in the water, I see a nice largemouth bass in the little bay and swimming for the next several hundred meters in a dense cloud of alborelline, cured overnight by giant chub which evidently follow the swarm they eat.
Then again some beautiful villas on the lake and we approach Meina through a long bay with sailboats and motorboats anchored.
Passes Lido trying to orient myself with our memories by the highway but I struggle to find the reference points known and I am quickly in front of the mouth of a river entering the lake is completely channeled between the walls of two gardens of old houses today restructuring (villa Castiglioni?) and here I find a sandy beach diving all white shaped wave as the sea and on the bottom, a little 1 meter deep, cold water of the river that runs beneath the surface layers of the lake.
We are almost there but just a few meters before the sad mass of cement of the Hotel Milano, we have the unpleasant surprise of seeing a major artifact that low 2 m below the surface of a flow of gray water, sewage, detergents and charged with the usual chub swarm swarming always in the presence of organic material poured into water!
Then after landing a couple of yards of buildings under renovation and is still surprised to see with regret that in the lake has been spilled everything from profiles of iron the pieces of aluminum to concrete blocks, and this even in recent times, as evidenced by the fact that the metal shines and is not covered with moss and algae.
I intend to report these findings to the City of Meina because the right measures are taken and then added to the steps of granite that forms a kind of town beach, where I note with regret that the water is very dirty with the usual algae and cyanobacteria a lot of material that floats.
We will see in the next few days if it gathers the bottom of the lake because of the prevailing winds from the north, and anything that floats on water conditions found swimming to Ticino.
Today our walk is over and not water hide all be proud of our strength and above all our friend Erica who is undeterred by Lesa arrived in Meina breaststroke!
