Early arrivals at West Neck Beach this morning were greeted by...even earlier arrivals, with the 6:30 early-early group just hitting the waves as the 7:00 group was suiting up! No traffic tie-ups though, as we swam out in opposite directions, the first group heading to the southern buoy and the second making for the Causeway first, intent on a long, 3-mile loop from house to buoy and back to the beach.
A strong outgoing tide and brisk southerly wind made for a choppy ride, especially for the Causeway group, which had to contend with the waves slapping our faces all the way back to the southern buoy -- a long, hard slog! Great practice, though, for the 5K/10K in the Bay!
Chris and I stopped at the beach on the way back and picked up the third wave of swimmers! for the leg out to the buoy and back. Cap-count total for the morning: 22! Tomorrow's forecast promises the same southerly wind, with an outgoing tide after 6:25 a.m., if you're up for a Father's Day Swim! See you in the Salt!
