Open Water Swim: Labor Day, September 1, 2008 at West Neck Beach

As you can see, we had a beautiful blue sky, calm water -- but a really LOW tide!

Jelly Fish even had a cousin sunbathing on the "low tide" rocks. Happy to say, we didn't see any other "cousins" in the water.

The boys are done for the day! Sorry to say that I forgot to bring my camera yesterday (Sunday, August 31, 2008) as we had about a dozen Open Water Swimmers then. Pretty much similar conditions though the tidal current may have been a bit stronger on Sunday.
