Looking for advice to a novice on how to prepare for the swim. Things like feeding and hydrating concern me as well as the water temp. Also I keep reading about ear plugs helping.
This will be my first attempt to swim the bay and time is short.

Everyones help was well appreciated especially you man!!
I did it in 2 hours 37 minutes. Water temp wasn't a factor at all but my navigation could have been better. I should have tried to stay north for a longer time so I wouldn't have had to crab as much during the swim. What a great experience!!! The turn at the end was fantastic. That image of all the people cheering us on will be with me forever!!! I almost drew a tear. All i can say is awesome!!! I may try the Chestertown swim for life next but i am not sure wether to go for the 5 miler or tone it down.
What an awesome experience. Sorry for the long lapse on the return post. We ended up spending the week at the ocean as R&R an now I am home and back to the pool but outside now which is fun.
Thanks again. I hope maybe we can meet someday. I am over the border in MD.
