Great idea! I'm sure Kate and I have a few extra items we wouldn't mind parting with. Boats, even.
NSPN used to combine these events with a paddle, so folks could make a day of it and/or not miss a day on the water. Throw in a potluck at the end of the day and it is a festival.
Now, venue.... hmmm.

I was on an NSPN official trip some years back where the trip leader declared that Brown's Bank must have washed away over the previous winter. Never mind that it appears on nautical charts dating back to the 1700s. She couldn't find it, therefore, it didn't exist. Of course, it would have helped if...

Re: Surf areas
A really good spot is Brayton's Point right on the MA/RI border. You can paddle there from Gooseberry Island quite easily and would probably have it to yourself. The offshore sandbars there can jack up some huge sets but they always let you go when they hit deeper water long before you get in to the...

Great post. Fun to read and follow along with the swim. How fast were they swimming (approx)? Thanks, Nelson. Glad you enjoyed it. Rob swam almost a straight line of about 6.5 miles, so his pace was about 2.5 MPH. Laura's route was a little longer but she took just under 3.5 hours, so maybe 2 MPH?
