The Great Chesapeake Bay Swim

Yesterday was the annual Great Chesapeake Bay Swim, and Barbara's and mine first year providing swim support. It was a good experience, and we were both able to help out several swimmers with rest stops and encouragement. Some of the other kayakers had to pull swimmers out of the race, and of course there were some interesting stories, like the one about the very last swimmer in the race who was past the deadline but wouldn't quit. Apparently he needed to be ordered out of the water by police and Coast Guard, and was taken out of the race in handcuffs.

I managed to take a few photos along the way, which are posted at the link below.
