Saturday, September 28th - Night Swim

Night Swim in the Magothy
Addie Welch graciously allowed me to swim from her beach on the Magothy and Alison M. once again agreed to support me. We set out from Addie's at about 7:30. There was little moonlight and lots of speeding boats in the main channel. We were going to swim side by side equipped with beacons but the boat traffic and low visibility led to a change of plans. We returned to the dock shortly after starting out and Alison jumped in a kayak and paddled with me for the entire trip. We clipped her light on the kayak and I sighted off of that. We swam along the shore and across Deep Creek and then along the opposit shore to Laura's house. The roundtrip with initial false start was about 3 miles. Water temp still a warm 68-69. Air temp a little chilly but very manageable.
Thanks Alison
