Report Time: Tuesday August 9, 11 am
Position: Between Shelter Island and Eagle Beach Rec Area
This morning's swim, which commenced at 5am, was a tough one for Steve. He encountered a steady current that seriously impeded his progress, resulting in him covering only 1.4 miles in 2 hours of swimming. The channel through which Steve is progressing is known for its persistent northward flow except at the height of the ebbing tide. As a result, Steve will enter the water again this afternoon at 1pm to try to take advantage of better currents that will enable him to make forward progress.
While still on track for the predicted finish on Wednesday afternoon at Auke Recreation Area, the final portion of the swim will be a serious challenge for the already tired swimmer. Any form of encouragement is welcomed (see below on the blog for contact numbers).
