Before you say anything, let me assure you that I’m at least as tired of this endless string of race summaries as you are. We’re in this together, so let’s just power through. We may someday look back at all this and laugh, but today is not that day. Grit your teeth, gird your loins, grease your possum – whatever is it that you need to do. Here we go. Nahant Bay.

Fisherman’s Beach in Swampscott is about 11 miles from my home, but somehow it takes a solid day of driving to get there. It’s a trek worth making. Mike McDonough and his clan have established the Nahant Bay Race as an August favorite in the New England circuit. Two dozen paddlers gathered from as close as just down the road (still a 3 hour drive). We had fine weather for the race, with a slight breeze from the northeast. The 9.4 mile course has us heading across Nahant Bay out past East Point, turning on a red buoy, returning across the mouth of Nahant Bay outside Egg Rock, rounding Off Rock, and returning for a beach finish.
