Check the website for more info, including current predictions and swimmer pace per stage targets.
Thursday. Stage 4. Newburgh Beacon Bridge to Bear Mountain Bridge, 15 miles
Eight swimmers have splashed for this stage, which takes a scenic route past Bannerman's Island, Hudson Highlands, Devils Playground, West Point, Tarryton, and on to Bear Mntn Bridge (all places I've never been to :)). Some cross winds are expected. The map at blog post shows a dramatic change from fairly rural to densely settled terrain right after Pollepel Island:
