Save the Bay Swim! Newport to Jamestown - the hard way

For the first time in 21 years of NACHO participation, team NACHO officially fielded a team for the Save the Bay Swim!  This event is a 1.7 mile swim (which gets longer depending on how bad the current is) from Newport to Jamestown that raises money for the Save the Bay organization.  Joe completed his 21st consecutive swim, battling some pretty fierce current and just missing his goal time.  Brian had a tough time, getting caught in the current and contesting with some pretty bad leg cramps from the 10 mile road race the night before.  Anne completed the swim without having to get towed in by her kayaker John, but managed to swim through a field of jellyfish on the way.  A huge cheering section awaited them at the finish, and they all enjoyed Dels lemonade when it was all said and done.  Great job NACHO!
