Crissy Field
Sunday June 1, 2008

7:45 a.m. jump. In typically impressive fashion, Brian Herrick put together a logistical masterpiece in organizing this swim. The race began from a boat instead of the beach at Crissy Field, and we had the pleasure of joining the South End Club swimmers and their pilots as we all swam home together. The conditions were once again perfect: calm warmish water, a sunny windless morning, and a terrific flood tide behind us. Congratulations to Suzanne Heim-Bowen for being the first swimmer back to the Club. Many thanks to Dave Sanchez, the pilot of "Happy Days" for taking us out to the start, and to the South End Club for their help in organizing and piloting the swim.
