Despite high winds and slashing rain this morning (not to mention the 60 degree water), the Rockland Breakwater 3.2 mile and 1.6 mile swims were a smashing success. Even Hurricane Danny couldn't keep us out of the water! More to follow soon, but I wanted to quickly post a cool story that I found when looking for the official results of the swim online. This is from a local paper and appeared on Thursday in anticipation of the event. With the weather this morning, I think it's safe to say that no one who wasn't involved with the swim was strolling along the breakwater at all, so I doubt that anyone other than the swim organizers, safety crews, and supportive onlookers saw us dodging the lobster pot buoys in the rain. All the same, another great event and wonderful, safe race hosted by the PenBay Masters swimmers. Thanks for another fabulous swim and many more fun memories. See you next summer!
