This morning I spent about 15 minutes in the waters off Plum Island. The water was about 56 degrees; getting warmer but still not balmy. The stripers are in and my swim seemed to have coincided with the right tide today as the beach was littered with fisherman. I spent much of my swim dodging lines. While I didn't see anyone catch anything, my father-in-law said he caught upwards of 30 today up in Maine.
After my dip in ocean I headed to the Y where I had the whole pool to myself - no lines. Swam about 4 miles in the pool.

Who am I?
In the 135 years people have been swimming the English Channel fewer than one thousand have been successful. When I was 14 years old I decided that, one day, I would be one of the people who made the swim. Now, close to 20 years later, I am planning to attempt just that. I have secured a pilot boat through the Channel Swimming and Piloting Federation,for an attempt in September 2010. I am currently looking for businesses, individuals, or organizations that would like to make contributions or provide sponsorship, either monetarily or in kind.
