Last year, Van Cornwell came up with a route called Round-Trip Hog Island and got it observed and ratified, this year he brought it back as a swim event! 8 of us did the swim, Andrew Packer and I swam together with our friend Fiona kayaking for us. We finished in 6hr33min, and tied for second place behind Van.
It was a great, sunny day. We got a little current push on the way up, and a little current push on the way back. There were tons of moon jellies in different patches.
