Before The Start Of The Race: West Neck Beach 1 & 2 Mile Swim

Now, how does that knot go? Left over right? Right over left? Ahhh... this should be good enough, it looks really, really calm out there today!

Did anybody remember to bring tablecloths? This is an inaugural swim race!



We were going to have that bird plot the course for us but he flew north and the race goes south!



A BIG thanks to Sea Tow... they made a complicated job look easy!




Our "rocky" North Shore beach gets a through grooming before the swimmers even get to the parking lot.

I got my official West Neck Beach t-shirt. Now if I just don't lose my wallet!

Forget the tablecloths... we got a tent!

OK, we're all set up, now where are the swimmers?

This is really starting to come together... I guess it'd be OK to smile and be happy! And, lets face it, the weather couldn't have been any better. Just who was on the weather committee? (I'll take credit if no one else wants to!)


Ah. Summertime. The Beach. The Sun. A "Boy" and his surfboard. Cue the Beach Boys, we got a swim race today in Cold Spring Harbor, New York.




I don't think Rob let go of that clipboard all morning long!
