JOSH’s Farewell Swim, Tower 9, 8 am, Friday, Feb 18th

We will be saying goodbye to Josh. He joined us in August, 2021 and has been a regular swimmer ever since. Unfortunately, he’s returning to Ohio to be with family. Their gain is our loss.

So, in honor of Josh, he’s going to choose the distance and direction of the swim. My guess is it’ll be a buoy swim, ~1000 yards, and maybe a little extra.

The conditions below, from MagicSeaWeed, show an excellent day for newbies:

Waves will be 2-3′, winds will be light. It’s going to be a great sendoff for Josh.

Water has been a little on the cool side, about 57-59 F.

Oh, and in honor of Josh, some of us will ditch our wetsuits for the swim. Josh has been wearing only a speedo, goggles, and a swim cap for the whole winter.

May we all aspire to be more like Josh!
