How did we miss this one?

I think I read on the site that they predicted that the current would be in the 3+ knot range. Apparently they were right. I did the Little Red Lighthouse swim (in 2002, back when it was about 8 miles) with a 2-ish knot current. It was really fun to watch the city zoom by. What wasn't fun was trying to get into the finish area as the current was blasting you downstream. I barely made it. Something like 10% of the field got pushed past the finish and had to be fished out. -LBJ
