Nubble Light 2.4 Mile Swim Photos

                                              Topping off the Tank!

                                          Rick, my Kayak escort


                                                      


                                           Fellow MIT Masters swimmers


 The first of NOT ENOUGH buoys for horrible slighter (me)

                                Swimming through "The Gut"  a channel between The Nubble Light House and
                                a jetty. Foggy one minute.....
                                Sunny within minutes out of the channel.

 Heading home but a tad off course?  Ha ha....  If you look closely, you can see another swimmer's kayaker way over near the houses. 

Race report later!

Oh, can't wait to read the RR. Do you have tin foil on your cap? I don't get it...shark repellent?

Glad to hear that you at least survived and made it to shore without getting eaten by sharks so you could post these pics.

Looking forward to the RR.
