This will be a decidedly short post. We have loaded up the boats, briefed on the feeding schedules, and learned about the technology. We are ready to swim!
I will be jumping off the dock at Chelo's Waterfront Restaurant tomorrow at 9am sharp to start my 50-mile journey to the bottom of Narragansett Bay and back. I hope to be back at Chelo's sometime between 10am and 4pm on Sunday.
My dear friend Tom from Peace Corps is in town to support me in this endeavor and he will be such an awesome crew chief. I'll be missing Mark as he's in class this weekend, but in addition to Tom, I've also got Joe, Lou and Caroline to look after me, so I will be well cared for.
It's getting late, so I should hit the hay to get some rest, as there won't be any sleep out there in the bay tomorrow night.
One last word of thanks to everyone who has donated. We are completely overwhelmed and humbled by the response. THANK YOU! I know Rachel is looking down with pride right now.

I read for the first time the article posted on Georgetown's website. I would like to ask if you come to the D.C. area on occasion because I would like to begin to learn how to swim long distances with the objective of helping you while getting into better shape.
Inspiring story and best of luck on the swim. Go GU. JP
Inspiring story read today on Georgetown's site. I also swim and would like to wish you the best of luck. 50 is harrowing and only the world's best can do this. When in D.C. please post if you are going to teach or mentor those interested in long distance swimming. I for one, want to learn how to swim longer distances.

would love to catch up next time in DC. Will post here when I'm next there. Sadly, don't get there very often. But soon. Thanks for the encouragement, and hope to meet you soon!
