Maine Train!

August 11, 2016 By Charlotte Brynn

August 2016, Orrs Island

calm waters

Time to head north, way north! We are in Orrs Island for a week of sea swimming in the cool ocean waters of Harpswell sound.What a stunning place!

Cold water training

The goal, 70k, in 6 days, and we are well on the way.

Cold water feeds

The waters have been calm on some days, and others a keen south wind has barreled down the sound. All making for great conditions.

It is such a blast seeing the lobster fishermen, working while I swim, they are friendly, and send us warm smiles and big waves.

Cynthia Needham has been a tower of power, kayaking by my side, Heidi Brynn, has been our photographer.

Have we been having fun, you bet!
