Race Day Wrap Up

Before the first rooster could crow, we were up and movin’.  Our friends were volunteers for the race and were dropped off at Cinnamon Bay, and then back over the hill to Maho.  We were greeted by a whole host of noseeums.   I guess it was too early for the mosquitos.  Race preps began with all important number being assigned.

Then it was time to line up and to get away from the noseeums....

 

The started a few minutes past 8 with 70 some green caps running into the water.  They were followed by waves of swimmers each wearing a different color to indicate their distance and level of assistance.  The water was like glass at the start, but shortly after all the swimmers were in the water the wind picked up.   Janet said it was very much a different swim than two years ago.  The sea conditions made it more difficult.  Along the way she spotted a turtle, starfish, and a nurse shark.   Once again the Beach to Beach Power Swim was a very positive event for all.

 Towel Boy was there for the finish once again.

 

Tomorrow it is Jost Van Dyke for a post swim party and snorkel.  The KG crowd gathers to chat about their adventure today and the party tomorrow,
