-ahhh....one of the best finish lines in open water swimming: Whiskey Joe’s……

-ahhh....one of the best finish lines in open water swimming: Whiskey Joe’s…… i swear i could smell the burgers before i swam under the last bridge.

I was gung ho for this event. The unfortunate $300 increase rained on that parade. And people say Triathlon is expensive. :badday:

And people say Triathlon is expensive. :badday: tris are expensive and you don't get your own personal motorized escort for 12 hours. many of the captains earn their living as fishing guides. if they couldn't earn a days pay as a swimmers pilot, they would likely make other arrangements.

What is the "discounted" entry fee if you bring your own boat? Did I miss it in the attached file?

no doubt. I agree that they deserve every penny, just in the end it's a lot of money.

I agree, it's a lot of money, but it's less than other open water swims that take several hours less to complete. Some of our people are on the water over 14 hours on race day.

Bump- We have several more spots available for solo swimmers and relays. Entry deadline is in 2 weeks, so give a call or email us if you are entering at the last minute. Thanks!

-it's a great (long) swim event & highly recommended!

Entry deadline was March 1, but we are able to take a few more apps if you send them in ASAP.
