Mermaid Swimming in the Lake? A professional mermaid cosplayer was found splashing around at Haserot Beach in Northport, Michigan during September of 2016. The water of Grand Traverse Bay sure was chilly that day, but the sunshine (and the extra insulation from the MerNation silicone mermaid tail) made the cooler temperature of the lake much more bearable. With that being said... no matter the weather, mermaiding is always a magical and unforgettable experience! I probably won't be out for another swim until summer comes around, but I will be posting more videos of mermaids like this one throughout the cold-weather seasons, since I've saved up some footage for you to watch. So, until the next video comes out... please enjoy this mid-winter mermaiding break! ;D
I hope you enjoy it!
XOXO- Mermaid Phantom
