Getting Ready At
Sandy Point
Ready To Go!
The Start
Heading to
the twin spans
Sea Kayakers were
with the swimmers and boats were just outside the race line For a
race safety net. The Coast Guard patroled to keep boats from crossing under
the Bay bridge
The Coast Guard was
assisted by the Coast Guard Auxiliary.This boat "Our Plaything" did a tremendous
job in intercepting bridge bound boats unaware of the swim. I watched as
this crew intercepted at least a dozen boats headed for the span. I belive
it was this same boat that towed The Chesapeake Explorers Boston Whaler
into Sandy Point in 1992 when my drive shaft broke! Great Job and
Well Done "Our Plaything"
The Red and White
board was the Sign of the finish!
A large crowd welcomed
the swimmers at Hemmingways!
Finishers
