49 swimmers completed our annual Fort Point swim from the South Tower of the Golden Gate Bridge back to the club. The Adventure Cat dropped swimmers just north of the south tower from which they sighted the Fort Mason buildings until heading due east upon reaching St. Francis Yacht Club. The flood was quite strong and building throughout the swim, giving a swimmers a strong push back to the cove.
Thank you as always to the pilots and volunteers!
