Hi.
I am doing the Little Red Lighthouse swim (5.85 mi) in NYC in a couple of weeks. I am a little anxious. I'd like to hear from others who have done this swim -- tips, advice, etc. Can you sight off the lighthouse? Will I get sucked into the water treatment plant?
I've done the Bay Swim (4.4 mi) several times -- I have a feeling that with the tidal assist the LRL swim might be easier, even though it is longer. Am I nuts? Well... um, I mean about comparing GCBS with the LRL swim.
Thanks in advance!

Wish I was doing it :(
I did it last year and did get sucked into the plant! Had to work a bit to get back out. Once safely back into the current I couldn't see the finish (they put me in the wrong heat so there was hardly anyone to see ahead and the finish wasn't marked), and nearly got swept past it!!
Fun swim though.
